Who participates in disaster relief and recovery efforts?

The Volunteers of America

The Volunteers of America is involved in initial response services aimed at meeting the critical needs of disaster victims in the United States, such as making trucks available for transporting victims and supplies to designated shelters. VOA also collects and distributes donated goods and provides mental health care services for survivors of disaster.

In addition to disaster relief and recovery, Volunteers of America also offers a wide range of services to youths at risk, frail elderly, abused and neglected children, people with disabilities, homeless individuals and many others. Though their mission is primarily domestic, VOA also has some international services. Visit www.voa.org for more information.
