More than 50 Corning Inc. employees participated in United Way’s Day of Caring at Bath VA Medical Center. The volunteers helped spruce up the campus by repainting signs, pulling weeds, picking up trash and planting fresh flowers. The end results made Bath’s campus look like a well-tended park.

“We encourage corporations to volunteer at VA’s all over the U.S.,” said Lynn Dinehart, Bath VA Voluntary Service Manager.

“Many corporations have in their mission statement to serve the community so they call us and we build relationships,” said Dinehart. “We could not support and sponsor most of our events and services to our Veterans without the generosity of our community partners.”
most of our events and services to our Veterans without the generosity of our community partners.”

There are many volunteer opportunities available for community corporations and businesses.

“Larger groups are typically needed to support our National Cemeteries, Fisher Houses and larger group Veteran events,” said Jim Keller, VA Voluntary Service Officer at the Albany VA.

If you think your company or business might be interested in volunteering at VA call your nearest VA Voluntary Service office and ask for more information.
