The reasons are as individual as our members. Some join for the fellowship at our more than 1,200 local chapters. Some for the inspiring national events. Others for opportunities to serve their fellow veterans and their families. And many join to continue the fight to support the rights and benefits of all veterans. DAV understands the needs of veterans because we are veterans—1 million strong. We invite you to join our cause.
When wildfires swept through Southern California in early 2025, they left a trail of devastation. Among those affected were countless veterans and their families, many of whom suddenly found themselves displaced and in urgent need of support.
DAV sprang into action. The DAV Disaster Relief Program includes delivering emergency grants and supply kits to veterans and their families to help them weather those critical first days away from home.
