VoluntaryServices
The Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service (VAVS) was founded in 1946 to provide for our nation's veterans while they are cared
for by VA health care facilities. It is the largest centralized volunteer program in the Federal government with over 350 organizations
supporting VAVS, including the Knights of Columbus. VAVS volunteers have donated 508 million hours of service since 1946.
