The Voluntary Service at VAPHS continues to support the traditional use of volunteer resources. Many of our veterans have come to depend on volunteers for an improved quality of life while they are patients in our facilities.  Volunteers provide a wide range of support and financial assistance to programs for our veteran patients throughout the year.  These pages provide information on how best to serve the men and women who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.  Begin by reading about the VAVS program, or if you are ready to volunteer, click on
