Emergency Services
Emergency Services offers vouchers and essential items for those in need.
Our mission of helping others toward self-sufficiency, improving living conditions, and bettering health and wellness is the guiding force behind our Emergency Services program. The strength is in the variety of available offerings
Through this program and its many funders and partners, Volunteers of America is able to provide vouchers for a variety of things, see the listing below.
School supplies: Available to students from low-income families who need help to start school prepared. Each year, over 1,000 backpacks are stuffed with pencils, notebooks, scissors, glue, pens, and other supplies students need to start the school year off with success will be distributed to children in need.
Gas: Available for job interviews, job retention, or medical general need. You will need proof of car insurance, your most recent pay stub, and phone verification.
Bus Tickets: Available for job interviews, job retention, or medical general need. You will need your most recent pay stub and phone number for verification.
Clothing: Available for job interviews, job retention, or general need. You will need proof of residency and a photo ID for verification.
Bedding, Linens, and Towels: Available for transitional or permanent housing or general need.
Prescriptions: This program is essential for many people, including some seniors whose prescribed medications wipe out their monthly budget. Funding does not include vouchers for sleeping, pain, or anti-psychotic medication.
Eye Doctors: Offered through the generosity of the North Everett Lions Club, these limited vouchers are available for residents in the 98201 zip code. Vouchers are available by appointment only, except for a medical necessity or a prescription voucher.
