Benefits
of Volunteering in New Orleans
Many volunteers tell us that
they started volunteering to help others in need, but continue to
volunteer because it adds so much to their own lives.
When
you volunteer, you make a real difference in the lives of people who
are hurting. You help local New Orleans communities grow stronger and
overcome social problems. Though Volunteers of America serves thousands
of people each year, all our services are delivered one person at a
time.
Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans is a non-profit human
service organization that helps more than 63,000 people in need each
year throughout 16 parishes in southeast Louisiana. You can help by donating your vehicle, stocks and mutual funds, and insurance, or making a planned gift or volunteering your time. Sign up today to learn more about our programs and services.
