— Vietnam Veterans of America motto

In January 1978, a group of fifteen Vietnam veteran advocates got together in Washington, D.C., and began the organization that became Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA). VVA today is the only congressionally chartered national Vietnam veterans service organization. Over the years, VVA has been the primary organization insisting that the U.S. Government hold up its obligation to all veterans.

The VVA is a respected charity that gives aid to all of America’s veterans, not just those of a particular age group or war.

By donating used clothes, shoes, appliances and other household items, you help generate support for the VVA, which uses the proceeds to fund the majority of its programs to provide critical support for America's veterans.

The VVA is a critical support service for our veterans. VVA became a membership organization in 1979 and set to work on the issues it remains committed to today:

  • Improving...

    the general welfare and hospital care of all veterans, especially homeless and disabled veterans

  • Assisting...

    veterans suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and other disabilities

  • Working...

    closely with veterans of other conflicts

  • Leading..

    the topics on women and minority veterans’ issues
