In 2023, VOA Utah received and distributed over $1,000,000 in essential items back into our community. Donated items are crucial in supporting Volunteers of America, Utah's mission to uplift and empower Utahns in need. These contributions serve as lifelines, enabling us to extend vital services to individuals and families facing adversity. Whether it's clothing, hygiene items, or other supplies, each donation represents an opportunity to make a tangible difference in someone's life.

Amazon Wishlists offer a seamless and convenient way to support our mission of helping those in need. In addition, wishlists can offer groups wanting to host a drive of their own a list of needed items for reference. With just a few clicks, you can browse a curated selection of essential items and add them to your cart on Amazon. Whether it's warm or cool weather clothing for the different seasons or hygiene products for our clients in need, your generosity can make a real and immediate impact.
The classic community drive! You pick a location, spread the word on what you're collecting and when, and then drop off at one of our locations. We can help you get your General Donation Drive organized so email alysha.sutton@voaut.org for more information.

This is a great opportunity for small to large corporate groups. We'll work with you on a list of essential needs, your company will provide us with the money to purchase the items (or you can), and then we organize an event for you to pack backpacks.
