Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs

Pennsylvania’s Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has a dual mission: to provide quality service to the commonwealth’s veterans and their families, and to oversee and support the members of the Pennsylvania National Guard.

Address: Bldg. 0-47, Annville PA 17003-5002
Website: www.dmva.pa.gov/Pages/default.aspx

State offices help with state benefits (tax exemptions, education, veterans homes) and can connect you with accredited service officers for VA claims. Source: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Volunteer in Pennsylvania

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 Horsham Township — 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 Pennsylvania at honorflight.org and escort a veteran to the memorials in Washington, D.C.
More ideas on our volunteer page.
