Sacramento Shelter from the Storm Annual Breakfast
A thriving tradition, VOA’s Shelter from the Storm fundraising breakfast is known in Sacramento as a wonderful event. Now in its 18th year, hundreds of supporters and new friends gather for an hour of inspiration, hearing firsthand from people whose lives have been changed thanks to Volunteers of America’s work here in Sacramento County.
Captivated by the personal testimonials, a significant portion of all gifts we receive each year are thanks to this inspiring program. Guests felt inspired to make gifts and pledges surpassing $400,000 last year. This year, our goal is to raise gifts and pledges totaling $2.2 million by June 30,2019 to close the gap between what we receive from government grants and what it costs to operate our 52 programs across our large region.
