Foster Love STEM Boxes

VMA has delivered 30 STEM activity boxes to foster children – each containing information on industrial valves and our industry. Each year, VMA supports the charity Foster Love, by collecting donations and assembling these STEM boxes at VMA events.
We are excited to extend this program throughout the year, and to all our events. This is a small way for VMA and our members to raise awareness about the importance of the industry and encourage future manufacturing workers. Consider making a tax-deductible donation here.
