Volunteers of America was established in 1896 by Ballington and Muad Booth. Their mission was to provide human services to the poor. Though they were originally affiliated with the Salvation Army, the two broke off due to philosophical differences.
VOALA's current goal is to serve people in need, strengthen families and build communities. The nonprofit provides services for Los Angeles area children, elderly, families, and veterans. As well as operating multiple housing programs for the homeless.
