The Local Veterans Assistance Program facilitates and recognizes volunteer initiatives that contribute to the lives of our nation’s ill and injured heroes. By providing resources, assistance or help with everyday needs, volunteers allow these heroes and their families to enjoy the best quality of life possible.
VolunteerforVeterans.org is a website where veterans can go to add personal needs, such as lawn care, cleaning needs, caregiver respite, etc. Volunteers can then register and sign-up to help veterans in their local community. Hours are credited to the volunteer through the DAV Local Veterans Assistance Program.

Every day, an average of 200 struggling neighbors call St. Vincent de Paul for assistance. Call Center Volunteers return calls and assist people through application processes. We ask for at least one two-hour time commitment per week, but time/day is flexible. This opportunity has an option for remote work after initial on-site training.
Help sort donations, create displays, straighten and stock shelves at our seven Cincinnati St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores. All our thrift stores have evening and weekend hours, so this is a great opportunity for individuals who work or go to school during the week.
