Members of Pennsylvania Chapter 76 and their family members visited with residents at the Southwestern Veterans Center as part of last year’s DAV Community Impact Day.
Chapter member Amber Borders, who regularly volunteers at the assisted-living facility, organized the event, which included festive decorations, snacks, cooking classes, and arts and crafts.
“We just want to bring something a little bit enjoyable for them to do, something interactive, and some people that will love and care on them,” she said.
Borders’ two children, daughter Adalynn, 9, and son Greyson, 5, volunteer, too. She said they both love going and help plan the visits.
“They ask me when is the next time we can go,” Borders said. “We make it a whole event each time.”
Her children aren’t going to be the only people joining her on the next visit. Because of this experience, several others have already committed to going along.
We’re hosting another DAV Community Impact Day this spring! Take the pledge at communityimpactday.org and make an impact on April 4, 2026!

This Presidents Day, DAV recognizes all of the U.S. presidents who answered the call to serve in uniform before leading the nation in the executive branch. From General Washington’s service during the Revolutionary War to more recent presidents who helped lead America to victory in World War II, their military service helped shape the values that they brought to the presidency.
In total, 31 presidents have worn the U.S. military uniform, representing both the Army and Navy, several state militias, reserve components of the military, and even the National Guard.
