Volunteers of America

Hi Friend,

This is a holy week for Christians and Jews, and I can’t think of a more shining example of abiding love in action than helping those who are sick, afraid and without hope.

I hope you can make a gift for COVID-19 relief in that same spirit. VOA needs you now more than ever.

I just got off the phone with a VOA director from the field about their local COVID-19 response efforts. For the thousands of our frontline staff nationwide, this pandemic continues to be an unprecedented and challenging crisis. Fragile seniors…homeless veterans…at-risk youth…low-income families…they all rely on VOA shelter, care and support. And we thank you for always helping us help others! But COVID-19 has heightened their vulnerability to dangerous levels.

When you’re a human services mission built on 125 years of life-changing services, you "know the drill.” With COVID-19, it means we step up, we protect the health and safety of those we serve, and we stay with them, as long as it takes, no matter what it takes.

Our teams can’t help without your help. Will you please join our urgent community response, for your neighbors, for the people at highest risk during COVID-19, by making a gift now?

HELP NOW

There’s no easy way to say this, but COVID-19 has stretched our response resources dangerously, in some local areas we are at a break point. For every person we reach, there are more waiting for help.

Before I hung up with my colleague, she shared, in a cracked voice, that every single day these past weeks, what is AMAZING is the courage and compassion of our VOA frontline staff, caring and serving so many in desperate need.

We will get through this, and, thanks to compassion like yours, we will remain the place that the community trusts and relies on.

Blessings to you and yours,
Mike King
President & CEO, Volunteers of America

P.S. So many of us are asking ourselves: What can I do TODAY? Please, if you’re able, make a gift now—it will help provide emergency relief to local communities devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
