About our DAV Auxiliary

DAVA stands for Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary. This group was created to support the spouse or significant other in the DAV.

Since 1922 the Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary (DAVA) has partnered with the DAV parent organization in their mission of service to disabled veterans and their families. That relationship has continued to flourish and the blended organizations have achieved many victories in their quest to improve the quality of life our veterans rightly deserve.
With nearly a quarter-million members, the DAVA programs are far-reaching and the personal rewards fulfilling.
Our members are diverse in their interests which is what has made the DAVA so successful. Our programs include Americanism, Community Service, Junior Activities, Legislative, and VA Voluntary Services. Foremost in our hearts is the goal of assuring benefit entitlement and compassion for our disabled veterans and their families.
