have to go everywhere you go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people experiencing homelessness on Cape Cod, that can mean carrying their belongings throughout the day while worrying that something important could be lost or stolen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">di Vinfen <strong>Homeless Outreach and Engagement Team (HOET)<\/strong> recently found a simple way to ease that burden: 12 outdoor lockers at its Hyannis location, giving people 24\/7 access to a secure place to store their belongings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lockers are just one part of the support HOET provides. Individuals can also connect with resources including primary medical care, shelter and congregate housing referrals, and weekly wellness activities, along with help meeting everyday needs such as laundry, new sneakers, and personal care supplies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, making life a little easier starts with something as basic as knowing your belongings

different, but the spirit behind it remained the same. After the surprise cancellation of the annual Reach the Beach Relay, the Run-4-Life team created its own event on <strong><em>Friday, September 18<\/em><\/strong>. Runners gathered at the Newburyport home of Vinfen\u2019s Chief People Officer Chad Cotter, before heading out to run routes that took them toward Plum Island or along the Newburyport Rail Trail and back.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a beautiful day to come together as a team and support Vinfen\u2019s <strong>Health and Wellness Fund<\/strong>, which provides microgrants that fund programs promoting healthy living for the people we serve. Thanks to the generosity of those who supported our walkers, we raised more than $18,000 for the Fund!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special thank you to Team Captains <strong>James Green and Mike Collins<\/strong>, to Chad for hosting, and to everyone who ran, participated, fundraised, donated, and helped keep the Run-4-Life tradition going strong!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure

importance of authentic disability representation in media.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vinfen was proud to sponsor and&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in the June 25 event, which also celebrated the launch of the&nbsp;<strong>American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) Special Collection:&nbsp;Representing&nbsp;Children with Disabilities on Public Television<\/strong>. The collection&nbsp;showcases&nbsp;how public media has consistently led the way in improving accessibility, representation, and inclusive storytelling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disability rights&nbsp;activist and author Emily Ladau and acclaimed violinist Adrian Anantawan shared how seeing people with disabilities represented on screen during their childhood helped shape their identities and sense of possibility. The conversation was moderated by&nbsp;Bryan Gould,&nbsp;director of the Carl and Ruth Shapiro&nbsp;National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) at GBH&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
