Volunteer or Donate
VA Northern California Health Care System depends on the good will of our benefactors and volunteers who wish to give something back to America's heroes.
Volunteering
Volunteers provide many important services throughout our inpatient and outpatient facilities, and they help make our patients' stay or visit more enjoyable. Volunteers can perform a number of services. Each volunteer's talents are closely matched with one of our many assignments.
To volunteer, call our Voluntary Service Program Office at (916) 366-5372 or visit one of our facilities today. We will be happy to receive your application or discuss how you can help us in our mission to provide comfort and care to America's veterans.
