What is it?

The Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) was founded in 1946 to provide for our nation's veterans while they are cared for by VA health care facilities. It is the largest centralized volunteer program in the Federal government with over 350 organizations supporting VAVS, including the Knights of Columbus. VAVS volunteers have donated 508 million hours of service since 1946.

The V.A. is grateful for the wonderful response to help America's heroes. Many thanks for volunteering to serve those who served.
