Like all medical facilities, Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals, nursing homes and clinics need volunteers to perform a wide range of duties. Some work directly with patients, participating in recreational programs and other activities on the wards. Others assist the VA’s professional staff or escort patients, serve coffee or simply provide companionship to veteran patients.
No matter what your volunteer interests may be, there’s a role you’ll enjoy. and the Local Veterans Assistance Program may be just what you’re looking for. Whether it’s grocery shopping or running errands for veterans in your community, doing yard work or painting a veteran’s home, there’s a need you can help fulfill.
