More than 250 brand-new winter coats were distributed to children served by Volunteers of America, thanks to our partnership with Van Bortel Subaru and Operation Warm. 🧥

People experiencing homelessness are navigating crisis, loss, and systems that often fail them. In their toughest moments, what they deserve most is dignity, compassion, and support, not judgment.

At VOA, we meet people where they are and work alongside them toward stability and belonging.
