VAVETS provides support services to Virginia Veterans and their families during difficult and challenging times. As resources are available, we will provide bridge support services that with help our Veterans and family members get back on their feet.
These support services are intended to cover unexpected situations that were unplanned and require immediate support. Our services are intended to be temporary in nature and our staff will help identify courses of action for a longer term solution if required. To obtain services you must be a registered member with VAVETS and have provided us with a copy of your Virginia Veterans Identification Card.
Below you will find areas of support provided to our Veterans and their families by VAVETS. This list is not inclusive. If you have a support need that is not listed, please feel free to submit a request so we can determine the best means to help you resolve your situation.
Financial support provided by VAVETS will generally be for financial obligations past due or that will become past due without some intervention. If the financial obligation is due to a third party by our member, we will require proper documentation substantiating the obligation in addition to the request for support. In the case of third party obligations, VAVETS reserves the right to pay the third party directly in order to ensure resolution of the debt and maintain our ability to show fiduciary responsibility to our donors, sponsors and volunteers. All requests received are handled as sensitive by our direct staff and your privacy will always be protected.
