Hi Friend,



We’re all seeing it in the news. Families struggling to afford groceries, food
banks running low and people working harder than ever just to stay afloat.



With the holidays coming, it’s even tougher. **_While one family preps for a
feast, another is quietly trying to stretch a can of soup_.** This season is
going to test our kindness. But it also gives us a chance, to show what that
really means.



**[You're an integral part of our everyday response. And your help is needed
now — before the
holidays>>]([link removed])**



At Volunteers of America, we’ve stepped up, like we’ve been doing for over a
century — serving those in need across communities like yours. In Colorado,
VOA **delivers hot meals all week long** to older adults who can’t afford
groceries. In Michigan, **veterans who once served our country are getting
emergency food kits** to keep them going. And in Western Washington, our
**drive-through food pantries** are a lifeline for families — convenient, safe
and quick.



Your gift right now can make sure a neighbor in need doesn’t go without —
especially this time of year.

As a friend of VOA, your kindness is turning struggle into strength, and we
are so thankful for you! Together, we'll make sure no one is left behind this
holiday.


Warmly,

**P.S. If your kindness ever mattered more, it's now, ahead of the holiday
rush. Thank you again, for what you can do to support your neighbors in need
this holiday.**
