Volunteers of America is a national nonprofit organized as a ministry of service, supported by a workforce of about 16,000 paid professionals. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, it operates through hundreds of human service programs, including housing and healthcare, to address the needs of people across communities. Founded in 1896, it operates in more than 400 communities across 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, touching about 2 million people each year. The work is supported by roughly 60,000 volunteers who assist staff in serving vulnerable groups, including veterans, at-risk youth, older adults facing frailty, people returning from incarceration, homelessness, people with disabilities, and those recovering from addictions. In 2026, VOA formed a partnership with Furniture Fair to help local students obtain school supplies.
