IAVA often brings local veterans and civilians together, sending hundreds of care packages to the men and women deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. We provide them with the basic articles often found lacking in war, including socks, DVDs, playing cards, and snacks. Along with a handwritten note from a supporter, these seemingly small items can make an enormous difference in spirit and morale.

Details and organizing packet coming soon!
