Collaborative service projects in Tampa, San Antonio and Nashville highlight shared commitment to veterans’ health, dignity and well-being

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Humana Inc. and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), in collaboration with CenterWell, USAA and Volunteers of America (VOA), will bring together employees, veteran advocates and community partners on May 19 to support veterans experiencing homelessness.

As part of the VFW’s annual Day of Service, volunteers will unite in three different locations — Nashville, Tennessee; San Antonio, Texas; and Tampa, Florida — for hands-on service projects that deliver tangible support to veterans and seniors in need. Collectively, volunteers at the three locations will prepare 4,000 essential care kits to be distributed through trusted community partners.

“Veterans deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve action, partnership and sustained support,” said Cara Brown, Director of Key Relationships at Humana. “By joining forces in communities across the country, we’re creating meaningful opportunities for our employees and partners to serve with purpose while delivering real, measurable impact for veterans in need.”

Three Cities, One Mission

The Day of Service events, taking place at local CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Senior Primary Care centers, will include:

• Nashville, Tennessee: Volunteers will assemble 2,000 care kits in support of Volunteers of America’s street outreach efforts, helping individuals experiencing homelessness connect with person-centered case management, resource navigation and material support.
• San Antonio, Texas: Volunteers will pack 1,000 toiletry kits for seniors, supporting dignity and daily health needs in a community with one of the nation’s largest veteran populations.
• Tampa, Florida: Volunteers will prepare 1,000 toiletry kits for local veterans experiencing housing insecurity, in partnership with community organizations serving the region’s growing veteran population.

“Our Day of Service projects reflect the heart of the VFW’s mission — veterans helping veterans,” said VFW National Commander Carol Whitmore. “Our relationship with Humana, USAA and CenterWell demonstrates what’s possible when organizations come together with shared values of honor, service and community to ensure no veteran is forgotten.”

Building Toward a National Impact Moment

This year’s collaboration marks a new partnership with Volunteers of America, ensuring service efforts are aligned with real-time community needs and are reaching veterans and seniors most at risk. Together, the organizations aim to create momentum throughout the year — engaging local markets nationwide, strengthening relationships with local VFW Posts and its Auxiliaries, and inspiring continued involvement beyond a single day of service.

“Our goal is not just a day of volunteering, but a sustained commitment,” Brown added. “By working alongside VFW Posts, veteran advocates and organizations like Volunteers of America, we’re helping build healthier futures for those who have served — today and for years to come.”

The 2026 Day of Service builds on the VFW’s growing national movement of service. Since launching the Day of Service in 2022 as an extension of the VFW’s Still Serving campaign, participation has expanded dramatically. In 2025 alone, more than 2,300 service events were held across the United States and internationally, underscoring the power of community-driven action.
