Longfellow Community Council's mission is to improve the quality of life and develop a sense of community among the Longfellow, Cooper, Howe and Hiawatha neighborhoods and promote their well being. The Longfellow Community Council will involve and empower the member of the community in all its diversity to take action on issues affecting their lives. Volunteers of America has had a presence on East Lake Street for over 40 years. The building houses over 60 residents and provides transitional housing and services for men who have been convicted of felonies. Volunteers of America is a quiet neighbor, successfully integrating themselves into the neighborhood and is a vital part of our community. Longfellow is a stronger neighborhood because of VOA's work in the community. Longfellow Community Council supports VOA in its planning and development of additional facilities throughout the metro and beyond. We would be happy to answer any questions you might have about having VOA as a neighbor. Sincerely, • e anie Majors ongfellow Community Council
