The Ballington and Maud Booth Legacy Society is named for the visionary couple who founded Volunteers of America in 1896 with a promise to “go wherever we are needed, and do whatever comes to hand” to serve people in need.

A Planned Gift to Volunteers of America can help you manage your personal financial plan and extend your ability to help others for generations.  Your contribution is a promise to the future of your community and may offer you and your family significant tax savings and other financial benefits.

Make Your Mark With a Gift for the Future
