(Cold Spring, KY, Tuesday, April 21, 2020) – The COVID-19 pandemic creates a unique set of challenges for the nation’s 4.7 million disabled veterans who are disproportionately more at risk to the coronavirus. Their injuries may leave them more prone to contracting the virus and there are thousands of disabled veterans in need.

In response to this unprecedented circumstance, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is establishing a COVID-19 Relief Fund to provide help to veterans who have lost employment or income due to unstable economic conditions as a result of COVID-19. To help support these efforts individuals and corporations can go to www.DAV.org/Relief. Veterans who need support can go to www.DAV.org/COVID to learn more.

Veterans who have lost their jobs and looking for meaningful employment can participate in free virtual career fairs that DAV is holding throughout the country. Applicants can also get free job-seeking advice, such as tips for dressing for an online interview and best practices on writing a resume. A list of these career fairs, which is frequently updated, can be found at Jobs.DAV.org.
