Your holiday giving can bring double the joy this season with Volunteers of Americas Caring Gifts campaign.
For a donation of any size, beautiful, wrapped angel ornaments will appear on your designated recipients doorsteps. On the other end, the programs of Volunteers of America of North Louisiana receive help to continue its work.
Gifts of all sizes are welcome and needed:
$30 would provide diapers for the infants served at our various programs
$80 can buy over the counter and prescription medication for many of our adults with special needs
$100 would buy two weeks worth of evening snacks or meals for a child in our afterschool programs.
$250 buys a SporTran bus pass for one month for six people in need.
$1,000 defrays the cost of adoption, the oldest program of Volunteers of America of North Louisiana.

Order your Caring Gifts online making sure to indicate where you want ornaments sent, or call (318) 221-2669. Orders will be accepted through Dec. 20.
