DAV’s disaster relief team is on the ground in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico and surrounding areas that have been impacted. DAV provides relief supply kits (which includes a blanket and basic necessities) and financial assistance to veterans so they can obtain food, warm clothes and shelter. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, DAV has issued over $500,000 to veterans and their families in the wake of disasters this year throughout the United States. With the significant number of people in dire need of assistance from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, our funds are nearly depleted. We need your help to ensure that we can help every disabled veteran that turns to us for assistance. A gift of any amount today will ensure our team can continue providing support for veterans experiencing catastrophic events, like Hurricane Harvey. And because of a generous friend, Living Beach (a company in Myrtle Beach, SC) all donations will be matched up to our fundraising goal of $300,000.

Sometimes it takes more than bravery and courage to get the care and benefits veterans deserve. By making a monthly gift, you become a member of the DAV Honor Guard, a group of special individuals dedicated to empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity.

Volunteering through DAV is a wonderful way Americans help keep our nation’s promise to our veterans. DAV provides numerous opportunities for citizens to participate in volunteer programs in their own communities that address a wide range of veteran needs. DAV volunteers at VA hospitals, nursing homes and clinics perform many important services that bring comfort, care and companionship to grateful patients. Volunteers are essential to DAV’s vital medical transportation service. Using our national fleet of vehicles, volunteer drivers take veterans to and from medical appointments for free. No matter how you’d like to volunteer, DAV can help you return a measure of service to veterans who served us all.

With a legacy of service dating back to our founding in 1920, DAV has a track record of being an influential advocate and inclusive voice for veterans of every era and conflict. Today, with nearly 1.3 million members and nearly 1,300 local Chapters, DAV represents the voices of ill and injured veterans before Congress, the White House and the judicial branch, as well as state and local governments. DAV fights for veterans’ rights and promotes policies that ensure veterans and their families can live with respect and dignity. When DAV leaders testify before Congress, policymakers listen, and it’s because of our members—a voice that policymakers cannot ignore. Advocacy is an extremely important piece of what DAV does for veterans and our members. The louder our voice, the stronger our presence and DAV wants your voice to be heard. It would be our honor to have you stand with us to ensure veterans’ rights are protected, now and in the future.

It’s quick, easy and a great way to get rid of an old or extra vehicle. Turn your vehicle into resources that help ensure our nation’s heroes have the opportunity to enjoy the freedoms their sacrifices have made possible. We accept all vehicles—cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, airplanes, heavy equipment, farm machinery, etc.—whether they’re running or not. With more than 3,500 tow companies at our disposal, we can provide free pick-up anywhere in the country. You are entitled to receive a tax deduction equal to what the vehicle is sold for if you itemize your deductions. If the vehicle is sold for less than $500, you can deduct the fair market value up to $500. You will receive a tax receipt stating what your vehicle sold for within a few days of the sale. We convert the car into cash, which becomes a welcome donation to DAV.
