Volunteer or Give
VA Northern California Health Care System serves over 400,000 Veterans from Yreka to Oakland California. Our health care system is able to provide enhanced patient-centered care thanks to the generosity of our community members and service organizations. We have over 1,200 regularly scheduled volunteers who donate over 100,000 hours of their time annually providing assistance to our Veterans. Volunteers are placed not only at our outpatient clinics and hospital but in our local Veterans' Centers and the VA National Cemetery in Dixon. Volunteers are accepting donations.
Volunteering
Volunteers contribute greatly to the enhanced level of care provided to both our inpatients and outpatients. Each volunteer's interests and skills are matched with various needs resulting in an enhanced patient-centered care. Each volunteer's talents are closely matched with one of our many assignments.
If you are interested in volunteering, please send email to v21nchcsvavsstaff@va.gov. Include in your email how you would like to help our Veterans, what special skills you want to use and the days/times of the week you are available to volunteer. Once a position is identified then we provide you the application and explain our process. All volunteers must have current TB test and complete background checks prior to placement. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old.
