About us
Volunteers of America Colorado is a nonprofit, faith-based organization dedicated to helping those in need transform their lives. Through more than 50 distinct human service programs, Volunteers of America changes the lives of more than 140,000 vulnerable Coloradoans each year. VOA services include housing and emergency shelters, hunger and nutrition services, and many other community support programs. Our work touches the mind, body, heart, and ultimately the spirit of those we serve. VOA integrates compassion with highly effective programs that build and strengthen communities. WHO WE SERVE Since 1896, VOAC has supported and empowered Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens. Volunteers of America Colorado supports many diverse populations including families, children, veterans, and seniors. We address the unmet needs within our communities and create programs that empower our neighbors to become self-sufficient and reach their full potential. WHAT MAKES VOA SPECIAL? Volunteers of America Colorado believes unique challenges require unique and thoughtful solutions. VOA creates specialized programs to meet the critical needs of the communities we serve—our programs across Colorado look different because each community is distinct. Volunteers of America recognizes the senior who needs assistance with her grocery shopping in Fort Collins, and the student in Aurora who has never been to summer camp. We support Denver’s homeless veterans who have been underserved and prepare preschoolers challenged by poverty to be successful in elementary school and beyond. Wherever we go we engage faith, relationship-building, and volunteers to lift-up and support Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens.

Did you know that food insecurity rates for families with children spike during the summer? While about 10.5% of U.S. households were food insecure in 2021, this rate rises significantly when school is out. Hunger doesn’t take a summer break, even in Colorado. In Denver, over 200,000 people – that's 33% of the population – are currently experiencing food insecurity. Nearly 12% of Denver County residents, including children, seniors, families, and veterans, live below the poverty line. Your support can make a difference. Let's come together to combat food insecurity this summer. https://bit.ly/3RMTNYY #HungerDoesntTakeAVacation #EndFoodInsecurity #VOAColorado #Donate

Those smiles say it all! Camp POSTCARD is a free week-long summer camp designed to benefit 5th and 6th graders from the Denver/Aurora area who demonstrate leadership skills and might not otherwise be able to afford such an experience. This popular and successful VOA Colorado program builds strong, positive adult/youth relationships and provides valuable life skills that serve the campers, their families, and their communities. The experience provides a safe environment that stresses ideas, values, and the importance of role models, who just happen to be law enforcement officers and emergency personnel from the Denver metro area! It's what summer is all about! https://bit.ly/4czcmIf #CampPOSTCARD #SummerCamp #RoleModels #VOAColorado
