Schaumburg, IL (January 15, 2008) – Virtual-Agent Services (VAS), an Illinois-based provider of contact center solutions, has spent part of the holiday season spreading good-will within their local communities. During this past holiday season many of VAS’ 21 centers took time to spread holiday cheer.

In Stanley, New Brunswick, the VAS POD sponsored a family of five through the local food drive. The agents were able to pool together all the necessary items for their sponsored family and then some. The Stanley POD also teamed together to help out fellow agents with meals and local donations when two family members fell ill.

Jodi Simpson, the Stanley POD Manager said, “We are a small POD with only about 30 agents. I am very proud of everyone for the generosity shown in situations like this.”

The Sussex POD supported a local family, as well, by supplying a single mother of 3 small children with a monetary donation, gifts and groceries. Meanwhile, the Hillsborough POD collected over $250.00 for the Christmas Daddies charity. In Norton, more than $500.00 in gifts and provisions, as well as a turkey with all the fixings for a Christmas dinner were donated to a needy family by the agents. The Petitcodiac POD thought about both our fellow man and our furry friends this season. Not only were over 8 boxes of food donated to the local food bank, but animal food, blankets, leashes and more were given to the Moncton S.P.C.A  to help even the area’s pets and creatures have an enjoyable holiday.  VAS’ Schaumburg, Illinois office collected over eighty pounds of canned and boxed goods for the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

“Virtual-Agent Services is very proud of our employees and the voluntary support provided by them for their local communities. This time of year has proven to be a perfect opportunity for the VAS family to not only give back to the local communities, but more importantly to bring holiday happiness to people in need.” Evan Blanco, President.
