Fostering a Pet for a Vet  

Providing a temporary home for some furry friends while their Veterans find permanent housing. We need volunteers to foster MACV clients’ pets through Secondhand Hounds the Bond Between. Not only will you give these animals a loving home, but you’ll also bring peace of mind to their Veteran owners. And don’t worry about supplies – Secondhand Hounds the Bond Between has you covered!

Event Volunteer

From our Veteran resource fairs to golf tournaments to outreach booths, there are so many opportunities to help spread the word about MACV and make connections with Veterans looking to rebuild their lives. 

Legal Clinic Volunteers  

At legal clinics we typically need help completing intakes with a veteran who is looking for legal assistance. These legal clinics are currently on hold, but we hope they will start up again soon.

Around The Office 

Sometimes we have office projects that we need assistance with. This volunteer position allows you to help us do clerical tasks that support our MACV staff. Areas of assistance might include compliance, finance, and human resources.

Move-in Kit Assemblers 

This is a fantastic opportunity for organizations, companies, and large groups. With every kit you make, you directly support a Veteran and their family as they are exiting homelessness and starting a new chapter of their lives.

Holiday Gift Program

Our program offers you the unique chance to choose the size of the family you wish to support. Whether it’s an individual Veteran or a family of five, your generosity will directly warm the hearts of those who have given so much.  Once an organization or group reaches out, MACV provides a brief written introduction to the family and their ‘wish lists’ for each member of the family. You would decide which items from their lists you would like to provide! Click here for the program flyer.

Property Projects

Every spring through late fall we need volunteers to assist us with big and small outdoor property projects! We will need assistance preparing the yards of our homes for winter and summer and maintaining outdoor spaces! Small projects can include landscaping, weeding, and general maintenance tasks. Larger projects can include fence/deck/rail building, painting/staining and power washing. If you have a group that is interested, we would love to have your help!
