Volunteer or Donate
TVHS depends on the goodwill of our benefactors and volunteers who wish to give something back to America's heroes.
Volunteering
Volunteers provide many important functions throughout the Medical Center and help make our patients' stay more enjoyable. Volunteers can perform a number of services, and a volunteer's talents are closely matched with one of our many assignments. You can view more information on our Volunteer Assignments page.
We will be happy to receive your application or discuss how you can help us in our mission to provide comfort and care to America's veterans.

New Service! E-Donate
Simple. Speedy. Safe. The new E-Donate service now available online at https://www.pay.gov/paygov/forms/formInstance.html?agencyFormId=48003968 allows community members who wish to give back to Veterans a quick, safe way to pledge their support. Through E-Donate, donors can select from a number of accounts at the medical center they wish to donate to. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs administrative costs are appropriated so donors can be 100 percent certain their donations will go directly to the funds and Veteran patients they select.
Donated money at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System medical center goes to items such as hygiene products, hospice, cable television for spinal injury patients, and recreational activities. The actual donation is made through a secure site at the Department of Treasury’s www.pay.gov. A minimum of $5 is required for online donation and you can donate by any electronic means commonly used on the Internet today (i.e. credit card or debit card). You choose the medical center, you choose the amount, and you choose from available options how your money will support local Veterans.
