VOAD - Faith Based and Non Profits

VOAD stands for Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, which is a network of non-profits, faith-based groups, and community organizations that coordinate efforts to respond to disasters. These organizations work together to provide a comprehensive response, including providing shelter, feeding, medical care, emotional support, and debris removal during and after disasters. A key function of VOADs is to improve communication, coordination, and collaboration among member organizations to ensure a more effective and efficient disaster response, while minimizing duplication of services.
