Central Virginia

At VSH, we believe that homelessness affects everybody in the community, and community volunteers can and should be a part of the solution. VSH volunteers in Central Virginia engage in mission-critical services that support our very low-income, formerly homeless residents in their efforts to stabilize, regain independence and connect to a caring community.
