Everyone We’ve Helped Across All Programs

If You’re Asking “What Can I Do?” — Start your volunteer journey here

They’re invisible to most of us: Poverty, hunger, healthcare needs. Yet Southwest Virginia has the highest food insecurity and lowest socioeconomic status in the state.

Fortunately, people like you believe that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, even a second chance. You’re the kind of person who doesn’t ask if you can help. You ask, “What can I do?”

The answer? Plenty.

Volunteer, Donate, Change Lives.

Each year, our volunteers contribute more than 35,000 hours of service. Supporters make more than $387,076 tax-deductible donations, on average, each year, with the average donation being just $517

You can make a real impact here too, simply by doing whatever you can. Start helping. Stop the hurting.
