Season of Caring

Join Us for the 36th Annual 10 Caring Gifts

For 36 years, VOA Southeast and FOX10 News have partnered to make the holidays brighter for families across the Gulf Coast through 10 Caring Gifts, part of our annual Season of Caring. This long-standing campaign has become a cherished community tradition—uniting neighbors, schools, and businesses in the spirit of giving.

You can help make a difference this year in three meaningful ways:

  • 🧸 Donate Toys: Bring new, unwrapped toys to bring joy to local children.
  • 🥫 Give Food: Drop off non-perishable food items to help families facing hunger.
  • 💝 Give Online: Can’t make it to a drop-off site? Your donation helps VOA Southeast provide food, housing, and care all year long.

We’re deeply grateful for our longtime partners—Greer’s Markets and Mercedes-Benz of Mobile—whose continued support helps make 10 Caring Gifts possible year after year.

Drop-off locations are listed below. Find one near you and help spread hope this holiday season.

Bring comfort and joy to people who need it most by contributing to our Season of Caring. With your gifts and donations, VOA Southeast and WALA Fox 10 TV are working together through the 10 Caring Gifts initiative this holiday season to make a difference in your community.

Can’t donate a gift to the drive? Monetary donations to VOA Southeast go to support and uplift your neighbors all year round. With programs for affordable housing, veterans services, intellectual and developmental disabilities, workforce development, and so much more, a gift to VOA Southeast is a gift to your broader community. 

Your gifts have the power to transform lives. As one of the region’s largest housing providers, VOA Southeast offers life-changing shelter and stability to people with nowhere else to turn during the winter.

Together, let’s make this a happier, healthier holiday season for people in need!

What is Volunteers of America Southeast?

Volunteers of America (VOA) Southeast is a dedicated faith-based organization committed to uplifting lives and creating positive change through programs that support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, veterans, low-income seniors, homeless and at-risk families, children and youth, and individuals struggling with addiction and mental illness. We impact the lives of over 50,000 people through services throughout Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.

What gifts are needed most for this year’s Season of Caring?

While every gift you give makes an impact on someone’s life, cash donations to VOA Southeast stretch the furthest. With these, we’re able to fulfill our mission to illustrate the presence of God by serving people and communities in need through affordable housing, services for veterans and seniors, mental health treatment and support, family-focused substance abuse recovery programs, personalized vocational training, and personal care assistance and enrichment for people with developmental disabilities.
