Volunteers in Action serves our Denver Metro neighbors by connecting them with Christian volunteers and churches who are equipped to meet expressed needs and develop supportive relationships.
Volunteers in Action, organized originally as the Denver Diaconal Conference, was started by a group of churches that wanted to better serve the needs of people around them by working together. The deacons of these churches planned ways to increase their service to elderly, disabled and low-income individuals. As the organization grew it added organizing service group projects, providing education and support for lay leaders and linking Christian volunteers with elderly and disabled in their communities that needed a helping hand.
