Today, you can ease the fears of many concerned children. You can make sure that they start school with a new backpack filled with supplies. This will allow them to look and feel like their peers and less like a poor homeless kid. Your kindness can give them a chance for new beginnings. You have the opportunity to change a child’s future.
Volunteer
Many of you still want to help, and YOU CAN from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Even though our in-person volunteer opportunities are currently on hold, we still have ways you can help others from the safety of your home!
You can help our seniors, veterans and frontline heroes let them know you are thinking of them during these uncertain times.
Brighten their day by creating a card, writing a letter, sending an email, having a child draw a picture...it is up to you! Take a picture, email it over to us at volunteers@voami.org and we will be sure to share them all with them!
We are in an unprecedented time, and none of us know how long this pandemic will last...Let's come together and keep positivity at the forefront! We appreciate you taking the time to brighten someone else's day!
Send notes of encouragement to our seniors.
Let a homeless veteran know they aren't alone.
Send a note of thanks to our frontline heroes.
