Volunteers of America North Louisiana

Volunteers of America began in North Louisiana with the opening of a shelter off Texas Avenue for women and children in 1935. Our hope was, and remains, to reach and uplift all people and bring them to the knowledge and service of God. For over 85 years, our organization has taken on the most difficult tasks to help the most vulnerable in our community. Operating as a church without walls, our team of qualified and professional staff provide supportive services across 40 programs in North Louisiana helping the most vulnerable in our communities, including children and families, veterans, people with disabilities, and senior adults.
