I’ll be quick, Friend. Another winter storm just blanketed parts of the US, and our responders are on the front lines of support for the cold and homeless. We need a few friends for local efforts this winter, and for emergency support like hot meals, housing, mental health services, and much more.
I hope you can spare time to respond before closing this email. Your donated dollars will go right to work in your community towards emergency relief and ongoing support. Every gift matters. Thank you ~ Tanisha

Friend,
Last night, I read a jarring report that stopped me in my tracks. Over 600,000 people experienced homelessness in a single night last January(1), a new U.S. record.
It's hard to imagine a statistic like that and not be moved. Moved, maybe, to pray, to donate, or act in some way. Especially knowing it’s such a frigid cold month in many parts of the country.
Join the Response: Bring Shelter, Warmth and Hope - Renew Now
Our VOA responders are on the front lines of support now, for families exactly like those in the report.
It's thanks to you and other caring supporters that families, veterans, young kids, and seniors are getting the essentials to exit homelessness and establish a better life...
...Essentials like VOA warming shelters, pop-up food pantries, hot meals delivered to isolated seniors, mental health support and other winter relief services.
Our nationwide response is in high gear. But we need more friends now for local efforts, Friend. Please let me know if we can count on your renewed support today:

A bed. A blanket. A meal. That's all it takes to change a life. If you're able, please make a renewed gift today, it will mean the world.
Thank you for sharing your kind heart,
Tanisha Smith
