Volunteers of America encourages all of our online friends to comment and "post" on our page. We strive to manage a positive online space where our constituents can feel free to express themselves. We understand that some conversations around articles, blog posts, events, videos, organizational initiatives and other content on this page or linked to this page can create strong opinions which can lead to debates and passionate responses. For that reason, when comments or posts descend into derogatory remarks, personal attacks, inappropriate content or confusing streams of irrelevant content, we reserve the right to remove comments on our pages and potentially move the conversations offline (either onto email or discussions via phone). We want to see your comments and posts that:

• Are "on topic" and that respond to the content in our posts
• Are responses to comments left by other readers
• Are reasonably brief and to the point
• Have a positive/constructive tone
• Are open to being contradicted by other readers
• Might disagree with the content in the article or post, but never insult the writer of the article or blog post, or other commenters; we’re all “friends,” after all


We would rather not see comments and posts that:

• Are not "on topic" or are not responding to other comments or the content in the article or blog post
• Are excessively longwinded or negative
• Are insulting to the writer, the organization or previous commenters

We will immediately delete, without notice, comments and posts, that:

• Are unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or contain racially, ethnically or similarly objectionable content
• Are personal attacks, including name-calling or celebrations of another person's misfortune
• Are injurious to the reputations or privacy of Volunteers of America staff, volunteers and clients
• Are false statements or unrelated to Volunteers of America programs and ministry
• Contain advertising or spam
• Are incomprehensible or do not contribute to reasonable dialogue
• Are disruptive, including personal conversations better suited for private messaging
• Violate any of Facebook's Terms of Use and Code of Conduct

Constant or extreme violations of Volunteers of America’s Facebook community rules will cause a commenter to be "defriended," blocking them from making future posts or comments on the page. In cases of extreme abuse, Volunteers of America will report violations to Facebook and permanently ban offenders from the page. Thanks for being our friend!

Happy Farmers Day! 🌱

At VOA Upstate New York, our hydroponic farm is addressing food insecurity by providing fresh produce for our emergency shelters, supportive housing, daycare program, and other community partners. The Farm fed to more than 17,000 people while also creating opportunities for the people we serve to receive hands-on learning. Hear from Alec, the Lead Farmer at The Farm, to learn more about how this innovative approach is making a difference in the community!

VOA is proud to see this work recognized in a recent The Growcer case study and grateful for partners who help make innovative solutions like this possible.

This National Disability Employment Awareness Month, meet Patrick from VOA Southeast, whose more than a decade as a job coach has helped individuals with disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment.

For Patrick, the most rewarding part of his work is seeing the excitement when a client lands a job – but his support doesn’t end there. He walks alongside the clients through all the milestones that follow. Building confidence, navigating challenges, and working towards long-term success are a few of the ways that Patrick creates a positive impact on our clients’ futures.

Through Supported Employment, VOA Southeast is creating greater independence and community inclusion for the individuals in the program.

It’s here! Today is DAF Day – and if you have a donor-advised fund, you’ve already done the planning. Today is simply a chance to decide what you want those charitable dollars to do. For 130 years, VOA has helped people through some of life's hardest chapters – with housing, recovery, care, connection and a path forward. A grant from your DAF to VOA can help write someone’s next chapter. Give a grant from your donor-advised fund now: https://www.voa.org/give-from-your-donor-advised-fund/

Tomorrow is DAF Day. If you have a donor-advised fund, now’s a good opportunity to take a look at it. Because the dollars are already there, just waiting on your decision. Tomorrow, a grant from your DAF could mean a warm bed for someone who hasn't had one in months. Stability for a veteran rebuilding his life. A family staying together instead of falling apart. Nothing new to set aside. Just a choice about where it goes. See what your DAF can do: https://www.voa.org/give-from-your-donor-advised-fund/

As VOA celebrates 130 years of service, we are highlighting the people and partnerships that show up for our neighbors when they need support.

This summer, Volunteers of America Northern California & Northern Nevada hit the streets of downtown Sacramento as part of the Extreme Heat Outreach Initiative, helping provide relief to people experiencing homelessness during dangerous summer temperatures. Alongside nonprofit partners and volunteers, VOA distributed more than 100 “Stay Cool” kits, ice-cold water, backpacks, and tents to our unhoused neighbors.

As VOA marks its 130th year, it is spotlighting the service projects and volunteer efforts that unite communities. Volunteers of America of Pennsylvania showed us that when heat rises, communities show up.

During a stretch of dangerous summer temperatures, VOA Pennsylvania set up small outdoor cooling stations in Wilkes-Barre to keep neighbors safe and hydrated. Thanks to the generosity of the Greater Wyoming Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Rainbow Alliance, more than 20 cases of water were donated.
