Letter
from the President...
Dear Friend:
One hundred seven years ago, Volunteers of America was founded to provide services to those in need. Chartered in New York City, the newly developed charity also initiated service that first year in southern California.
|
|
In the Los Angeles area, the original services offered to the needy
in this bustling community of 100,000 included a home for orphaned
children and support for newly arrived immigrant families.
As the region experienced explosive growth, Volunteers of America
continued to expand its services to keep up with the additional
challenges brought with the influx of new residents.
The family has always been the focus of our mission and our services
have expanded to assist all ages in the family unit. Today we are continuing a battle that sometimes seems overwhelming. Our
commitment to bring lasting solutions, not just temporary comfort,
has led us to look to new ways to support individual growth and self-sufficiency. I encourage you to join us in our efforts as we continue
to reach out to those that are unable to help themselves.
Your investment will make a difference.
Sincerely,
Bob Pratt
President
