Volunteer

Serving those who served. It’s what we do every day. Aside from our 850-person strong team, there are many individuals who contact us about volunteering. We welcome all volunteers at our five veterans homes and five veterans cemeteries. Below you will find specific information about how to serve at each location.

Veterans Homes

Our homes’ administrators and staff welcome volunteers who want to give back to the hundreds of veterans who call one of our veterans homes home. Our veterans love activities, from bingo to crafts and much more! Individuals or groups may sponsor and/or call bingo, donate food and drinks or bring a therapy animal for a visit. In addition, there are many events held at the home throughout the year, and volunteers are welcome for those as well. See how to help below.

Veterans Cemeteries

Our cemetery directors and staff also welcome volunteers who want to honor our veterans by helping maintain the dignity of our cemetery grounds. Volunteers are especially appreciated on event days, such as Memorial Day and Wreaths Across America Day, where extra hands help make these important ceremonies possible. We also accept weekday volunteers to assist with tasks, such as cleaning headstones, planting flowers, weeding and general grounds maintenance. See how to help below.

How to Help

Whether you’re an individual or part of a group, your time and effort make a meaningful difference. To learn more or to schedule a time to volunteer, please contact the veterans home or veterans cemetery of your choice using our locator. Thank you for supporting our veterans and our cemetery!
