Giving purpose. Restoring dignity. Providing Shelter. Maintaining independence.
WHO WE ARE
Volunteers of America is the charity that always steps forward to help the most vulnerable. For over 125 years, we have taken on the most difficult tasks to help Michigan’s most underserved.
The name Volunteers of America was selected when the organization was founded over 125 years ago. It signified that the organization was comprised of people voluntarily choosing to help others. In those days, a volunteer was anyone who was committed to a mission or cause. Since its earliest days, when Volunteers of America brought food, medicine and comfort to people not served by other charities, volunteering has been instrumental in every aspect of the organization’s ministry of service.
Today, our services are delivered through a partnership of professional staff, volunteers and other community supporters.
