Operation Backpack is Back!

Join VOADV in helping local children start the school year strong. Operation Backpack® provides brand-new backpacks and school supplies to kids in need—and you can be part of the impact!

Maud Booth Correctional Services Award

We are thrilled to share that our President and CEO, Dan Lombardo, is the 2025 recipient of the Maud Booth Correctional Services Award! This prestigious award not only pays homage to VOA's co-founder Maud Booth and her work in prison reform, but honors someone who leads with compassion and humility in their re-entry work - something that Dan does every single day.

Dan - thank you for being a great leader, as well as inspiring advocate for those we serve. Congratulations!
