The Volunteer Services Council for San Angelo State Supported Living Center

What The Volunteer Services Council for San Angelo State Supported Living Center does

The Volunteer Services Council (VSC) for San Angelo State Supported Living Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Carlsbad, Texas, that funds and delivers goods, services, and enrichment programs for approximately 138-185 residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IQ of 70 or below, ages 14-96) at the state-operated San Angelo State Supported Living Center (SSLC). The VSC operates independently of the state, filling a funding gap left by SSLC's approximately $22 million annual operating budget, providing clothing, personal items, recreational activities, and developmental programs that state appropriations do not cover. The council serves as the de facto fundraising and program arm for residents referred from 38 surrounding West Texas counties.

Core programs include the Holiday Cheer gift program (individualized Christmas gifts to every resident), Casino Night fundraiser (sponsorship tiers from $500 Beginner's Luck to $10,000 High Roller, with $75 individual tickets), Greenhouse vocational training, Special Olympics participation, Birthday Voucher Program, Family Day Picnic, the on-campus Unique Boutique retail outlet, and a Guardianship Program for residents needing decision-making support. The organization invests more than $30,000 annually into resident-facing programs and events.

The VSC is funded entirely through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, in-kind contributions, and grants, with no state or government funding. It is governed by a volunteer board (President Carl Bradley, Vice President Travis Gray, Secretary Mallory Hooker, Treasurer Andrea Souffle) drawn from the West Texas community. The organization uses no proprietary technology — its website is hosted on Weebly, donations are processed through PayPal, and community outreach is conducted via Facebook and email. The council is co-located with the SSLC on a 1,000-acre campus at 11640 US HWY 87 N, Carlsbad, Texas, and has operated continuously since the SSLC's 1969 founding (the underlying site dates to a 1912 tuberculosis sanatorium).
