Get Involved with Volunteers of America in Nevada

#goldentampon is an annual donation drive founded by Shanna Golden that collects and distributes feminine hygiene products like tampons and pads to female clients of VOA. Give back by organizing a drive, hosting a collection bin at your home, church, school, or business.

Operation Backpack provides backpacks, grade-specific school supplies, to homeless, at-risk and foster children in Reno. Help a kid in need succeed in school by donating new backpacks and/or school supplies.

This is an incredible opportunity to provide continuity, joy, and hope in otherwise unsettled and uncertain times for the kids living at VOA’s Family Shelter in Reno by donating gifts, cupcakes/cake, goody bags, decorations, supplies, and entertainment/games - everything needed to host a monthly birthday party for the kids.

Help a new or expectant mom welcome their new baby by sponsoring one of our quarterly baby showers.

Help make the holidays a little brighter for children and families staying in a shelter over the holidays by sponsoring a holiday party and/or adopting a child.

VOA's Shelter from the Storm Society is composed of a special group of people dedicated to ensuring the future of our programs and services through a multi-year commitment of giving. Learn more about becoming a Society Member by serving as a Table Captain for the November 2019 annual breakfast.
