VGEA family,

Let's help fight isolation this season!

The Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services is reminding us that little things, like a quick call to a friend or relative in long-term care, can make a huge difference.

To the state workers doing this important work: thank you for bringing your compassion to the job every day. You’re making Virginia stronger, and we see you!

When life throws the unexpected your way, help is closer than you think.

The Virginia State Employee Assistance Fund (VSEAF) provides emergency grants of up to $500 to qualifying Virginia state employees facing short-term crises like sudden medical emergencies, catastrophic weather damage, or the unexpected loss of a loved one.

These are not loans; they're one-time grants to help during a time of real need.

As your partner in advocacy and support, the VGEA wants you to know about every resource available to you, including the VSEAF.

When state employees experience an unexpected financial crisis - VSEAF is there to help.

Donations to VSEAF help provide emergency grants of up to $500 to coworkers facing hardship due to short-term, unforeseen medical emergencies, catastrophic storms, or unexpected loss of family members.

Shoutout to the amazing public workers who brave the chill to keep Virginia safe and moving! Thanks to our friends at the Virginia Department of Emergency Management for the frosty reminder, and for all you do!

❄Tiny Window, Giant Risk❄

If your view looks like you're driving a snow globe, it’s time for a scrape party!

Driving with only a small patch of your windshield cleared reduces your vision, delays reaction time, and puts you and others at risk. Always take a few extra minutes to fully clear ice and frost from your windshield, mirrors, and lights before hitting the road. If visibility is poor, postpone travel. Your safety—and everyone else’s—depends on it.

(*Here's an extra FREE Pro-tip...a credit/debit card can be used as an emergency frost scraper!🤔😂😎👍)

More visibility, less guesswork—drive with confidence! ❄️🚗🎉
