Soldiers’ Angels is one of the few nonprofit agencies with a voting seat on the VA National Advisory Council and approval to work within VA Hospitals.
All across the country, Soldiers’ Angels volunteers work within VA Hospitals to help provide comfort, resources, and activities to Veteran patients. While many organizations are only focusing on Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans, Soldiers’ Angels supports Veterans of all generations.
Services Provided
Patient Visits
Soldiers’ Angels volunteers visit patients’ bedside at the VA Hospital to talk with them, distribute comfort items, and do what they can to make their hospital stay more pleasant. Comfort items distributed often include Soldiers’ Angels Hygiene Kits, blankets, socks, and more.
Luncheons and Dinners
Soldiers’ Angels volunteers organize luncheons and dinners as an opportunity to bring Veteran patients together and offer them a taste of home. The events are organized to be held bi-weekly or monthly, which helps give patients something to look forward to.
Activities
In addition to meals or often accompanied with them, Soldiers’ Angels volunteers organize engaging activities for added morale-boosting engagement with Veteran patients. These activities can range from Bingo to movie nights to summer outdoor BBQs.
