What the Chapter is Doing
Our "old" Van
Preparing to Launch
A New Initiative
Our Chapter has participated in the DAV/VA Transportation Network for YEARS. When Covid hit, all vans were parked, for over 2 years. Even when the vans were running, the veterans in our community could only be transported to the main VAMC's (Atlanta or Asheville).
A New Initiative
Preparing to Launch
A New Initiative
We set out to gain full control over our van. We paid for it; we wanted control. A 3-year battle ended with our van being delivered and the keys handed over. What a battle though. A feat only successfully completed by one other Chapter. The old wrap was destroyed, but we worked hard to raise the funds to get it re-wrapped.
Preparing to Launch

Community Engagement
The van has been re-wrapped and we're developing our new transportation program and will be transporting veterans to ALL their appointments, including Community Care visits and private doctor's appointments.
A BOLD undertaking! We hope to launch early 2025!
Community Engagement

Community Engagement
We set up a booth at numerous fairs, festivals, and other events. While we do graciously accept donations, we look to ENGAGE the community in conversation. Talking to a frustrated veteran, or spouse, and offering our support makes the drudgery of sitting in a booth for 8 hours totally WORTH IT!
Our Service Officers
Community Engagement
Our Service Officers
When I say we have the BEST service officer I've ever seen, I mean it. I refer veterans and widows to my top Service Officer, Charlie, several times a week. Charlie knows the VA inside and out, and if he doesn't know the answer, he knows who does. Our Service Officers don't charge for anything they do. It's all free.
