VITA Awareness Day is tomorrow! [[link removed]]

Tomorrow, we celebrate VITA Awareness Day and we want all of you to join us! That’s why we’ve created the 2023 VITA Awareness Day Toolkit [[link removed]]. This resource is full of sample social media posts, shareable images, and state-level data sheets that you can use to highlight the tremendous impact that VITA has in your own backyard!
