  The Volunteer Way -- The Volunteer Way, Inc. is an all volunteer, non-profit organization with no paid salaries or expense accounts. Our mission is to help vulnerable people avoid slipping into poverty, to alleviate the suffering of people caught in poverty and to assist those who, with help, would be able to lift themselves out of poverty. As responsible and caring people we will aid in their struggle to overcome poverty.
  
  The Volunteer Way's goal is to eliminate poverty and help all people in poverty to be the most they can be and to have a piece of the American Dream. The United States is the richest country in the world and we produce enough food to feed most of the world, so it is our goal to have no American at risk of going hungry.
  
  We want to expand the idea of volunteerism throughout the United States and be a nation of "people helping people" the volunteer way.
