Voluntary Action Center of Boone County Charity Profile

Voluntary Action Center (VAC) has a heart for service, providing a wide variety of resources and assistance through unique programs designed to address unmet needs, giving low-income people the opportunity to gain independence, overcome crises, meet their basic needs, and improve their quality of life. VAC also connects local agencies and volunteers with opportunities to respond to serious social problems and community issues.

Volunteers who identified the need for a central volunteer coordination agency and an information bureau founded the Voluntary Action Center in Columbia, Missouri, in 1969. As the agency grew, emphasis shifted from volunteer-related services to information, referral and advocacy. The agency continued to identify gaps in service and as a result, began providing emergency assistance in areas of basic need such as food, shelter, clothing, transportation and prescriptions. Today, VAC is an established social service agency, essential to clients, agencies and the community as a whole.
