AMVETS National Service Foundation is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates nationally. Our main goal is to
serve American veterans who served our country.
Our National Service Officers help "cut the red tape" when a
veteran, or a veteran's dependant is attempting to obtain
compensation and benefits from the Veterans' Administration. This
service is at no charge to our veterans.
Our thrift stores offer the general public household goods and
clothing at discounted prices. The proceeds from our store sales
allow us to provide programs that benefit our veterans.
We offer a number of scholarships to eligible veterans and
their dependants on an annual basis to enable them to get an
education.
Through our Americanism program, we work in conjunction with
AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary and the Freedoms Foundation to educate our
youth on America's history to instill national pride and
patriotism.
Our memorial carillon bells are located in many National and
State veterans' cemeteries across the nation, as well as overseas.
They toll to remind us of the sacrifices made by our troops to
preserve our freedom.
Our VAVS volunteers work tirelessly at VA health care
facilities to serve hospitalized and disabled veterans and their
families with compassion.
Our Task Force DVD provides safe entertainment for our troops
stationed overseas.
If you or someone you know is a veteran seeking assistance,
please contact our office where veterans serve veterans and "Every
day is Veterans Day!"
