Vita Education Services celebrated its 50th anniversary on May 6 with a fundraiser and awareness-building event held at Delaware Valley University. The highlight of the evening was a program featuring community members, Vita volunteers and staff, and former students sharing their personal stories of Vita programs’ impact on individuals, families, and our community. Vita Education Services is the lead literacy agency in Bucks County and the largest provider of educational services in the Bucks County Correctional Facilities.
