As the COVID-19 vaccine continues to roll out, VA Medical Centers across the country are hosting vaccine clinics focused on serving one of our country’s most vulnerable populations— Veterans. Although VA’s have been closed to volunteers during the course of the pandemic, some locations are now opening up their doors to volunteers— specifically volunteers that will assist in the COVID Vaccine Clinics.

Soldiers’ Angels volunteers who supported VA Hospitals pre-COVID have been eagerly awaiting their opportunity to return to the VA and support Veterans once again. As you can imagine, they jumped at the opportunity to support the COVID Vaccine clinics! In addition to assisting the frontline workers, they are also handing out snacks to the Veterans awaiting their vaccine… which is where we could use your help… can you donate snacks for Soldiers’ Angels volunteers to hand out at vaccine clinics?

I enjoy volunteering with Soldiers Angel because I am giving back to a community of people that served our country! The thank you and appreciation from the vets, after receiving the vaccine, are memorable and make you want to come back!

My overall experience has been wonderful.  Amazing facility, helpful staff (nurses, doctors, other volunteers) and grateful vets that are getting protected. Many of the Veterans thanked all the workers as they were going through the process. You can tell they really appreciated all the effort put into providing the shots. The organization of getting people checked in, paperwork handed out, verbal information and shots in arms was amazing!

VA Hospital Support

Prior to COVID, Veteran Support Volunteers were active in over 40 VA Hospitals across the country distributing comfort items, visiting patients, hosting luncheons/dinners, and even providing a simple donut and cup of coffee. But once facilities started shutting their doors to keep everyone safe, the landscape of those volunteer opportunities shifted dramatically.

However, volunteers returning to VA’s to assist with COVID Vaccine Clinics marks a positive step toward reopening opportunities for support. This assistance is vital not only for helping frontline workers but also for engaging with veterans during this crucial time.” This means we need to get our VA Support Teams fully-charged and ready to go in preparation for more volunteer opportunities to come!

In the Meantime…
