Sometimes, all a kid needs is to be comforted by mom or dad. It can make all the difference. And one of the best things about VGM’s new on-site child care center is that you can be right there for your kids when they need you. That’s been a major benefit to Tyler Mahncke, president of U.S. Rehab, who has two kids in VGM’s child care center.

For VGM Community Giving’s Q2 donation efforts, they focused on schools and organizations that help promote education and literacy to local children. Donations for Q2 totaled $15,500. Learn more about the three organizations and schools.

Nick Dideriksen, director of business technology for Forbin’s managed IT services, and his wife Briley know a thing or two about child care in the Cedar Valley. The two have three kids: daughters Quinn, who turns 8 in July, and Lennon, who turned 6 in April, and son Brooks, who turned 3 in May.

Since it opened in November 2023, VGM Group’s on-site child care center has been a life-changing benefit to its working parents. Now, VGM is excited to extend that same benefit to even more of its families.  

VGM Group, in partnership with the Waterloo Community Foundation, has awarded six $1,500 scholarships to dependents of VGM Group employees. “At VGM, we believe that supporting our employee owners also involves supporting their loved ones,” said VGM Chief People Officer Sara Laures.

Providing accessibility to children of all ages and abilities can inspire inclusion and build a stronger community. For Q1 of 2024, VGM supported two organizations to help achieve their goals of providing all children with a space where they can join in some fun. Donations for the two organizations totaled $20,000. Learn more about them below.

“The child care center was one of the main reasons VGM appealed to me,” said Samantha Doering (Corporate Communications & Events). Her 19-month-old son Weston, who Samantha says is now “a completely different kid,” started going to the VGM child care center when it opened in November 2023.
