100% of all donations designated for "Alabama Tornadoes" will be used to help recent victims and their families. We are still helping communities rebuild from the April, 2011 tornadoes, so we have people on the ground already. We will be asking for additional volunteers soon so please check back around the 1st of February. Thanks for your support.

Volunteers of America Southeast demonstrates that “there are no limits to caring” through our Disaster Response. We are a diverse organization, seeking to partner with individuals, churches, and other organizations to help our community, our country, and people around the world in times of emergency.
One example of our efforts is demonstrated in our response to Hurricane Katrina. After the storm wreaked havoc to the Gulf Coast across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, our entire organization pulled together to begin a 2 ½ year process of first furnishing the immediate needs of the communities involved, and then beginning the process of rebuilding. Over 29,000 patients were served in our free medical clinics. Over 11,000 volunteers were coordinated in various areas of service. Over 105,000 individuals and families were served with basic needs. Over $12 million was donated through supplies and cash donations, and over 900 homes and churches were cleaned, repaired, or rebuilt. 100% of the monies donated for disaster relief through Volunteers of America Southeast went directly to respond to the needs of the people affected.

During a time of disaster, Volunteers of America Southeast has the capacity to respond by connecting volunteers, supplies, and financial donations with churches and other faith partners who are “on the ground” in the affected area. We continue to build a network of cooperating groups around the country.
