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 35,000 people through services throughout Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.
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.
The mission of VOA Southeast is to reach and uplift people, and the holidays are a perfect time to demonstrate this promise. Since 1989, VOA Southeast has brought hope and joy to thousands of people in need each Christmas through its partnership with WALA Fox 10 and the 10 Caring Gifts initiative with the support of many generous businesses, schools, and individuals ultimately across Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi.
