Volunteers of America is a national, non-profit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. For over 100 years, our ministry of service has supported and empowered those who are most vulnerable in our communities.

Our work touches the mind, body, heart — and ultimately the spirit — of those we serve, integrating our deep compassion with highly effective programs and services.

Help us collect new backpacks and supplies for the thousands of Central Ohio children in need.
