Serving Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana

Volunteers of America has served Lake Charles and southwest
Louisiana since 1990. We are best known for helping people
with mental illness live independently in the community with
a day center in downtown Lake Charles, and employment and
housing services. More recently, our services have expanded
to include affordable housing for senior citizens and other
programs.

Rural Resource Centers

We offer a range of services for adults with severe and
persistent mental illness in rural southwest Louisiana.
Service centers in Oakdale and DeRidder provide social,
recreational, educational, and employment opportunities,
with an emphasis on mutual support to achieve ongoing
recovery and rehabilitation.

Personal Care Attendant/Respite Program

Personal Care Attendant services help adults and children
who are disabled to become physically independent. In-Home
Respite Services can help with the temporary care of a person
with a physical disability, when the primary care giver is
absent or needs relief.
