A note from Jennifer Hancock, President and CEO

Dear Friend:

Thanks to the unwavering commitment of supporters like you, VOA continues to bring hope, stability, and meaningful change to the people and communities who rely on us most.

I am profoundly grateful for our entire VOA family—the dedicated employees who show up every day with compassion and resilience, the volunteers who give their time so generously, and the donors whose support makes our work possible.

Together, you demonstrate the true power of community in action.

As we reflect on 2025 and step into 2026, I want you to know just how vital your partnership has been. Every achievement, every life touched, and every step forward begins with your support. Thank you for standing with us—and for being an essential part of the VOA mission.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Hancock, President and CEO


2025 Highlights

We broke ground on Monarch Station, and it will be completed soon, providing 80 units of low-income housing – including 20 units of permanent supportive housing.

VOA hosted the 17th annual Power of 1 Breakfast, the 16th annual Weekend of Champions in Nashville, TN, and the 2nd annual Salute to Veterans Dinner in Knoxville, TN.

Kentucky Sports Radio hosted a live remote show at our Community Care Campus in Louisville, with Mayor Craig Greenberg.

We expanded our Recovery Community Centers to 5 locations in Kentucky, our Family Recovery Court program to 12, and our Family Connections Program to 11.

We opened Veterans’ Unity Point at Kenwick Community Center, a safe space for veterans to gather and access resources in Lexington, Kentucky.

We hosted our first Voices & Vision: Suicide Awareness & Prevention event in London, KY, in partnership with Whitney/Strong. Senator Brandon Storm gave opening remarks, and we provided attendees with life-saving tools to recognize and respond to those in crisis.
