Victra believes in inspiring its employees through its unique culture and core values of innovation, collaboration, integrity, performance, and celebration.

Through Victra Cares, the company has partnered with many charitable organizations including Building Homes for Heroes, Feeding America and in 2022 a new partnership just launched with the USO. In 2020 – 2021, Victra made a sizable donation to support Feeding America that provided 1.5 million meals to those in need across the country, with a focus on communities where they have stores.
