Volunteer in Maryland

  • At a VA medical center: escort patients, drive veterans to appointments or visit residents through VA Voluntary Service.
  • At a veterans cemetery: join a volunteer honor guard, help with Memorial Day flag placements or lay wreaths in December with Wreaths Across America.
  • At a USO center: welcome troops traveling through Bethesda — apply to volunteer.
  • With a local post: auxiliaries of the VFW and American Legion welcome family members and supporters.
  • With Honor Flight: find the hub that serves Maryland at honorflight.org and escort a veteran to the memorials in Washington, D.C.
  • More ideas on our volunteer page.
