VOA is more than a nonprofit. We are a ministry of service committed to helping build brighter, more resilient futures. Since 1896, we have served communities across the country through hundreds of human service programs, including housing, health care and support for veterans, people experiencing homelessness, people with disabilities, individuals returning from incarceration and those in recovery. Today, more than 15,000 professionals and thousands of volunteers help VOA serve people in communities across the country. Our purpose remains the same: providing compassionate care today so communities can flourish tomorrow.

Whenever there is a need in our communities, United Way is there. We bring a comprehensive approach to every challenge, actively listening and responding to local needs. Our global reach across tens of thousands of communities means we can share innovations and scale impact to improve lives around the world. From strengthening local resilience to advancing health, youth opportunity, and financial security, we’re mobilizing communities to action so all can thrive. Join us! #UnitedIsThe Way

Catchafire is a place for people to come together and do good. We bring together philanthropy, business, government, and volunteers with the goal of bridging paths to stronger communities.

Every day, we help communities grow stronger by listening to what they need and making sure they get resources. Together, we are able to shift resources and power to strengthen communities.
