VA Central California’s Center for Development and Civic Engagement hosted the annual Volunteer and Donor Appreciation Awards Ceremony on April 22nd, proudly honoring our extraordinary team.
In 2025, nearly 70 registered and 140 occasional volunteers contributed more than 15,930 hours - supporting 22 departments and providing more than 32,000 patient assists. Many also led vital programs like No Veteran Dies Alone and Compassionate Contact Corps.
Our donors gave more than $570,805 in resources, enriching Veterans’ lives in meaningful ways. Together with students and staff, they create a community of care, dignity, and hope. Their compassion strengthens our mission and reminds us that service to Veterans is truly a shared commitment.
