At our launch celebration in Rocklin, seniors (62+) in VOA's low-income housing learned about the Rocklin Community Support Project: free, on-demand rides funded by our 2026 AARP California Community Challenge grant.

With GoGoGrandparent's phone-based service (no app needed), a ride to the doctor or the grocery store is just a phone call away.

One month in and the rides are rolling. Thank you, AARP!

"The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention." — Virginia McGarry

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Virginia McGarry! In her mother's honor, former VOA board member Judy McGarry sponsors our Senior Safe House, giving six seniors nourishment, shelter, and safety. Virginia believed action mattered more than intention. Judy proves her right every day.

Join us in celebrating a remarkable life and the legacy it continues to build. 💙

Beating the heat, together. 🌡️

Last Thursday, VOA — alongside our SMUD Outreach Specialist and Mending of Mothers — hit the streets of downtown Sacramento to bring relief to our unhoused neighbors during the extreme summer heat. Together with volunteers, we handed out more than 100 "Stay Cool" kits, ice-cold water, backpacks, and tents to individuals in need.

A big thank you to our friends at UBS, whose employees helped assemble the kits and volunteered alongside us throughout the event.

This outreach is part of a larger effort with 30 other nonprofit organizations through the Nonprofit Collaborative's Call to Action: Extreme Heat Outreach initiative, hosting events across Sacramento County all month long.

We're grateful to our partners and volunteers — their dedication made this possible. 📸 Swipe through for a look at the day.

🏡 Big thanks to a generous partner!

A grant from the Einstein Jewish Community Services will help VOA continue protecting seniors at risk of homelessness, with dignity and respect.

This funding sustains our Senior Safe House, providing safe shelter during times of crisis, plus financial literacy and fraud prevention sessions that help seniors build confidence and stability.

We're grateful to EJCS for helping our seniors find safety, stability, and renewed independence. 💙

This spring, SAFE Credit Union has shown up for our community in a big way, and we couldn't be more grateful. 💙

During their Month of Service in May, SAFE volunteers brought their energy to Mather, helping freshen up the space with a fresh coat of paint. Then in June, in honor of Elder Abuse Awareness Month, their ERG group came out to our Senior Safe House to assemble hygiene kits, organize donation and supply spaces, and beautify the yard for the seniors we serve.

Two months, two locations, one incredible team. Thank you, SAFE Credit Union, for your continued commitment to our neighbors. 🧡

Thank you to the Nevada State Apartment Association for their generous donation of move-in kits for our ReStart program!

These kits are already making a difference for our newly housed clients, who are settling into their new homes with the essentials they need to get started. With the right support, they can focus on building a brighter future with dignity and hope.

We are so grateful for partners like NVSAA who help turn housing into home. 💙
