Dear Friend,
This season has a way of revealing what matters most – small joys and the quiet ways we look out for each other. You also start to notice how generosity and struggle can exist just a few steps apart. How close we all are, really, to someone who’s struggling.
Right now, during our Holiday Kindness Campaign, your gift will go 2X as far to provide food, shelter and hope for families still waiting for help.
Share Holiday Kindness – Doubled TODAY >>
At Volunteers of America, we see the struggle up close every day – a mom stretching groceries, an older adult choosing between heat and medicine, a neighbor trying to make rent. That’s why stories like Michael’s stay with me...
After losing everything in a natural disaster, Army veteran Michael quietly began skipping meals, to save a little more money to pay his bills, hoping he could manage on his own.
When life got so heavy that he couldn’t carry the weight alone, kindness reached him through VOA, and everything changed. Today, Michael has a home, steady meals and the renewed independence he takes pride in.
I hope you'll get your holiday gift matched today, and help others like Michael find their new beginning.
