Meet Leslie, a retired U.S. Army veteran who found peace and solace through Volunteers of America Ohio & Indiana Veteran Resource Center.

After his wife died from cancer and he lost his home, Leslie had nowhere to go. He was homeless for three months before he was connected to our supportive services for veterans where he was surrounded by the camaraderie of fellow veterans and reestablished a sense of safety. Now Leslie has a place to call home with his dog, Nova, by his side.

On Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we elevate the work of our team in New Jersey (Volunteers of America Delaware Valley) who are leading a campaign to educate school-aged kids and their parents about the danger of human trafficking.

This initiative stems from their work in the area – alongside local law enforcement and other nonprofits – to support survivors of human trafficking with compassionate services and resources.
