Join us on March 9, 2023 at the Wintergarden for a lively cocktail party to celebrate the positive impact each person has on the lives of the those served by Volunteers of America. This special fundraising event will help raise essential funds for our programs and celebrate the inner power we have to make a difference.

Miracles happen when we share our blessings with others--and right now, there are hundreds of homeless families and individuals in Rochester who are in desperate need of a miracle: SAFE SHELTER. With your help, the VOA Family Shelter can continue to provide housing and critical support to more than 200 homeless families in Rochester every year.

Choose from 8 Caring Gifts to help those in need this holiday season! You can help ensure VOA continues providing these essential services to those living in poverty in our community by making a gift to VOA to help: homeless families and individuals, at-risk children, frail seniors, struggling veterans, those struggling with addiction, and those reentering the community.

VOA offers a continuum of housing programs and services: emergency shelters, supportive housing, housing for seniors, housing for veterans, rapid re-housing, rental assistance, and a residential reentry center. We believe the key to addressing homelessness is providing a continuum of support services (in addition to housing and food) to help people develop more stable, self-sufficient lives.

Our nationally accredited center has grown into one of the largest providers of early childhood programming within the city of Rochester. The center serves more than 500 children and families on an annual basis and provides such additional support services as a full-time registered nurse, on-site dental care, family development services, on-going parent training, full-day care, and disability supports for children with special needs.

VOA provides reentry programs in Rochester and Binghamton that change lives. Our Residential Reentry Center and Community-Based Residential Programs help adults transition from incarceration and get a fresh start. The services we provide include: housing, specialized case management, employment assistance, and life skills training to help people develop positive, self-reliant lives.
