The National Service Foundation is established to assist in raising funds for the service initiatives of the DAV national organization. The Foundation initially serves to ensure that the National Service Program and other service initiatives will always be available for veterans of every era of conflict. Over the years, the Foundation’s role will expand and adapt to reflect the ever-changing needs of veterans.

DAV is an organization of veterans helping veterans.
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 you’re caring for a loved one, there can be moments when the challenges feel too heavy to navigate alone. And some of those challenges aren’t easy to talk about with just anyone.
For Anna, connecting with Amanda and Scott from her care team, gave her a place to talk openly, feel heard without judgment and find resources that could help her move forward.
💙 DAV Caregivers Support connects caregivers with trained support specialists who can:
• Listen to your concerns and challenges • Help you find resources tailored to your needs • Provide compassionate support when you need someone in your corner
Sometimes, having a person to listen can be the first step toward taking care of yourself, too.

CARtober is a month dedicated to giving back to veterans to fund vital programs and services through the DAV Vehicle Donation Program. Jackie Reau’s donation is an example of how your support can go farther for veterans.
As the granddaughter of an Army veteran, Jackie Reau highly values the sacrifices made by our nation’s heroes. So, when the time came to decide what to do with her mom’s old Chrysler, the DAV Vehicle Donation Program was Jackie’s first choice.
Donating the vehicle to DAV was a meaningful way to give back to veterans while paying tribute to her grandfather who served. "I chose DAV because of the incredible work they do to support veterans living with disabilities. DAV's mission speaks directly to our family values, and I know my grandfather would be proud." - Jackie Reau, DAV supporter and vehicle donor
If you have a vehicle that’s no longer being used, donating it to DAV will provide life-changing support for veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors. DAV also accepts unused vehicles of almost any kind including cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats and more. We make the process simple, secure and hassle-free. Plus, you may even qualify for a tax deduction.
In honor of CARtober, learn more about how you can donate a vehicle to help our nation’s veterans at the link in the comments. ...
