VetServe 2023: Mark your calendar, national day of service is April 21

Make the pledge to serve during VA’s National Volunteer Week, April 16-22, 2023. Whether you choose to plant a tree, package boxes at a local food bank or offer to serve with a nonprofit, what matters most is that you go out and engage. VetServe is a celebration of service and a call-to-action aimed to encourage the nation’s 19 million Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors to join VA in supporting a national day of service on April 21. 

Volunteers from the East Carolina Veterans Coalition in North Carolina.

In preparation for VetServe 2023, Veterans, families, caregivers, survivors and organizations can do these three things:  

• Commit to volunteering on an issue that matters most to you and your community. If you need some ideas of how or where to serve, check out the link here: Volunteer Directory.
• Share your story of service on social media and tag #VetServe2023. Visit RallyPoint: VetServe2023: Share Your Volunteer Service Success Stories Below! | RallyPoint along with Together We Served: VETSERVE 2023 | TogetherWeServed.
• Bring a friend, family member or colleague along to volunteer.  

Organizations are encouraged to visit RallyPoint & Together We Served to post opportunities, success stories and outcomes of successful Veteran volunteer service in the community.
