V.O.A.D.

Southeastern Pennsylvania VOAD (SEPA VOAD) is an opportunity for a diverse group of organizations and citizens to be trained to respond to community needs when a large-scale disaster occurs.  SEPA VOAD offers training and coordination services, before and after a disaster, and matches community needs with trained volunteers after a disaster hits.  This cooperative effort has proven to be the most effective way for a wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work together in a crisis.  To learn more about SEPA VOAD check out www.sepavoad.org.
