Members of VOAD form a coalition of nonprofit organizations that respond to disasters as part of their overall mission.  Northwest Louisiana VOAD has joined as a member of the state and national VOAD initiatives. Together we foster more effective service through the four C’s—communication, coordination, cooperation and collaboration—by providing convening mechanisms and outreach for all people and organizations involved in disasters.
