Vagabond Supports ForKids Holiday Toy Drive with vīv
Washington, DC, December 6th, 2017 – Vagabond (vgbnd.co) announced it is supporting the annual ForKids (forkidsva.org) Holiday Toy Drive through use of Vagabond’s vīv Commerce platform to easily purchase toys and books for children in need. ForKids’ mission is to break the cycle of homelessness by providing housing for homeless families and providing services to those families to help with mental health, education, and employment opportunities.
