United Way of San Luis Obispo County proudly leads our local Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) program, fostering collaboration among community organizations, faith-based groups, and government agencies to support those affected by disasters. By uniting resources and expertise, VOAD ensures an organized, effective response that aids in both immediate relief and long-term recovery for residents of San Luis Obispo County.
Miller Newlon, a United Way of SLO County Board Member, exemplifies the spirit of VOAD through his recent volunteer work with the American Red Cross during the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. Miller’s volunteer efforts serve as a reminder of how collective compassion can help communities rise from adversity. His dedication to helping others in need exemplifies the mission of the Red Cross and United Way of SLO County, which works tirelessly to provide meaningful aid and strengthen communities.
