By acting as a safety net for individuals and families in need, Volunteers of America works to strengthen and enhance communities. We offer a variety of community programs including information and referral, food and prepared meals, thrift stores and collaborations with the faith community.
Food Pantry
We provide food to more than 1,200 individuals and families in need through our Mansfield and Aurora food pantries. To hold a food drive or donate, contact April Hardin at (419) 525-4589 or april.hardin@voago.org.
Thrift Stores
Our 11 thrift stores are a resource in the community offering value-priced clothing, household items, and furniture. Supported 100% through donations from the community, proceeds from the sale of items support Volunteers of America’s programs and services.
