Friend, I know how busy you must be! I just want to make sure you don’t miss this.

Our VOA staff are responding now to urgent needs, as freezing cold temps have locked in as a continuous threat. For our local homeless, one freezing night can be lethal. We need a few more friends for local efforts.

I mentioned last week how your donation will be MATCHED, so I hope you can spare a minute to make a gift! I promise, you'll make the season a little merrier and brighter for the people in our care. Again, thank you so much for being a part of this lifesaving work!

Happy Holidays,

Tanisha Smith, Vice President, Volunteers of America

Mom keeping cold, crying child warm

Dear Friend,

Imagine...

You’re spending the holidays sleeping in your car because you just lost your home. Your kids are wrapped up in coats and blankets in the back seat. You’re scared, shivering…and all you want to do is pull them close and keep them warm.

For Jackie, this wasn’t just her imagination. Living out of their car in December was a stinging reality. She knew she needed to fix it, and fast. But she had no idea how.

Many families are facing hardship in a season known for twinkling lights and cheerful gatherings. But we can flip this story. With your help.

Your holiday gift to Volunteers of America will go toward critical relief and other support, like meals and housing, and it will be matched dollar-for-dollar, thanks to some amazing donors just like you. That's 2X the impact for families in need this holiday season!

2X hot meals >
2X winter shelters >
2X critical family support >

Jackie worked hard her whole life, so becoming homeless was the last thing she ever expected. With VOA, she and her kids found safety, shelter, meals, and a fresh start. She secured a stable job and now lives in a home of her own, making family holiday memories again.

You can’t have a Christmas tree when you live out of your car. But with VOA, you have the power to change their story, and empower families to survive and thrive. Please make your most generous holiday gift now!

Yes, I want to help this holiday! >
I'll help all year with a monthly gift! >

My sincere gratitude for you choosing to be a part of this life-changing work,

Mike King
President & CEO, Volunteers of America

P.S. You delivered hope before through your VOA support. This holiday, you can again be the reason someone is able to smile after their darkest moments. Thank you!
