Shop at the VCJC Online Affiliate Store!
Reminder: we negotiated a discount on Sukkahs from an independent vendor. The discount is higher than any other discount they offer, to the best of our knowledge. Save 12% at SukkahMart.com by using the coupon code VCJC12. Tell everyone you know! (Especially those that need a sukkah or schach.) See more on our Holiday Sales page.
We’ve just posted several member-recommended books on the Sabbath Sales page and have several more recommended titles we will be posting - take a look, then take a read.
What makes our store special is that some items are recommended by members of the VCJC community themselves and all items have been reviewed and represent curated selections.
The store is still a work in progress—so while there are many empty spaces at the moment, we’re actively building it out and adding new items to serve you better. We welcome your suggestions and feedback as we continue to expand our offerings! Think of the empty spaces as things you will want to look at later.
On the VCJC Shopping Blog, we post about specific areas of interest and spotlight exciting new products. The blog is a great resource for discovering special finds.
Visit the VCJC affiliate store through our website today,and help support the center while finding great products for yourself or loved ones!
We have a Rollator style walker available
