Our Ministry
Since our humble beginnings in 1896, Volunteers of America’s goal has been to answer God’s call to transform the world through a ministry of service that feeds, clothes, shelters, and demonstrates to all people that they are beloved children of God.
Volunteers of America, Dakotas works with individuals of all faiths, races, and backgrounds in all 66 counties in South Dakota. Our ministry is one of service. We seek to serve the needs of the whole person (mind, body, and spirit) by bringing together the human service agency and the church. We provide assistance to people of all faiths and never require those we serve to participate in worship services or even to acknowledge specific beliefs. Yet all of our programs and services are motivated by and exemplify Christian beliefs and principles.
Our spiritually based organization has an onsite Chaplain, as well as several staff who are Commissioned Ministers. These individuals help us live out our ministry by serving as prayer partners, encouraging resources, and advisers to Volunteers of America, Dakotas.
