Donations
VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System depends on the goodwill of our benefactors and volunteers who wish to give something back to America's heroes, and we accept material donations to provide enhanced services to Veterans receiving treatment at our facilities.
Each campus has a personalized, evolving list of requested materials (see below). For more information about donating materials, contact the coordinator at the campus you would like to assist.
- The University Drive campus voluntary service supports acute care and inpatient behavioral health as well as outpatient services including oncology, hospice and palliative care, women's health and a coffee program.
- The H.J. Heinz campus voluntary service supports a Community Living Center, a Veterans Recovery Center (including a homeless domiciliary), psychosocial residential rehabilitation (including a food and nutrition program), the Department of Housing and Urban Development and VA Supportive Housing Program (including voucher rental assistance), and more.
