Volunteers of America of Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho is dedicated to helping those in need rebuild their lives and reach their full potential. Operating a variety of innovative programs throughout the Inland Northwest, we are a locally governed, locally managed affiliate of the national Volunteers of America movement that helps more than two million people each year in more than 400 communities.

Working in partnership with congregations of all faiths, businesses, foundations, and state and local government agencies — and supported by thousands of individual donors and volunteers — we stand by people and offer them a continuum of services until they’re ready to stand on their own. Some people call that empowerment. We call it nurturing the human spirit.
