This week, Governor Glenn Youngkin and First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin donated
a portion of the Governor’s salary to Canine Companions to secure service dogs
for Virginians in need, with the first dog placed in Petersburg, Virginia.
In keeping with the Governor’s promise to give away the entirety of his
gubernatorial salary to benefit Virginians, this donation was given to a second
Petersburg nonprofit underscoring the Youngkins' commitment to this most
deserving community and the Administration’s ‘Partnership for Petersburg’.
Canine Companions is a leader in the nonprofit service dog industry, pairing
individuals with dogs to support independent and healthy living. The benefits
of the bond between humans and animals cannot be overstated, and these service
dogs will make a profound impact in healthcare, criminal justice, and education
settings across the Commonwealth.

Governor Glenn Youngkin and First Lady Suzanne S. Youngkin celebrated the
start of the holiday season by lighting the official Capitol Christmas Tree
this week. The Governor and First Lady were joined by Virginia Department of
Forestry leaders, the Fort Union Military Academy Marching Band, and Virginians
who gathered on the South Portico of the Capitol to watch the ceremony. This
year’s tree is a 25-foot Norway Spruce donated by John and Virginia Carroll of

This week, Governor Youngkin celebrated the opening of the Tyson Foods
state-of-the-art facility in Danville. The new Danville plant by Tyson Foods
means nearly 400 new jobs for Virginians in Southside in a modernized
environment built for the 21st century. The Commonwealth’s business climate,
infrastructure, and skilled workforce facilitate a long-term partnership with
Tyson Foods, and Governor Youngkin thanks the company for reinvesting in
Virginia with its operation in Danville-Pittsylvania County.
Under Governor Youngkin’s leadership, 230,000 more Virginians are working
today than just 23 months ago, we are at a ten-year high with labor
participation, and we have the largest labor force in the history of Virginia.

First Lady of Virginia Suzanne S. Youngkin visited a true light in the
Richmond area that helps people in times of need. The Doorways is a home away
from home for patients and their loved ones while undergoing treatments at
local hospitals. The First Lady met with The Doorways CEO Stacy Brinkley and
others and toured the facility, which includes private rooms and convenient
amenities. The Governor and First Lady have also hosted The Doorways staff and
guests for Easter activities at the Executive Mansion.

Mrs. Youngkin kicked off the holidays with Virginia’s 2023 Christmas Mothers
-- a tradition uniquely special to greater Richmond. These inspirational
'mothers' bring the spirit of Christmas to their communities by helping
families in need — ensuring the age-old role of moms as caretakers endures! The
First Lady acknowledged and thanked each ‘mother’ for her devotion to making
sure communities are not forgotten or left behind this holiday season.

The Governor and First Lady were honored to meet the growers behind this
year’s winning Christmas tree and wreath, as recognized by the Virginia
Christmas Tree Growers Association. We laud the Houston and Grove families for
their evergreen thumbs and are so grateful for the magic their craft brings to
Virginia’s home in Richmond and homes across the Commonwealth. Christmas tree
farming is an important part of Virginia #homehistory. With over 460 farms
covering 10,000 acres of land used for Christmas tree production and an
inventory of more than 4.3 million Christmas trees generating sales of $11.6
million, Virginia ranks seventh in the nation for total Christmas tree
inventory.
