Community Enhancement

 family and gutted home
Volunteers of America has been “building community” in the New Orleans area for more than a century.  When Hurricane Katrina hit, building community became literal. In response to destruction, suffering and loss, we created new initiatives to help people rebuild their lives and find housing and essential services.
