Korean War Veterans Association Chapter 270 Inc

The mission of this all-volunteer veterans’ organization is to serve veterans, especially veterans of the Korean War. To that end, our officers and members volunteer over 5,000 hours annually at the Dallas VA Hospital. This volunteer effort includes repairing damaged wheelchairs and putting new donated wheelchairs in-service for veteran patients. Our members are also hold a monthly hamburger cookout for veteran patients at the Community Living Center on the hospital grounds. Members also work the information desk and have adopted two wards at the hospital. As an all volunteer organization, 100% of all tax-exempt donations go to our beneficiaries. One beneficiary is the Dallas VA Hospital’s Voluntary Office fund for patient comfort items. A second recipient is the historical magazine, Korean War- The Graybeards. The third recipient is the Korean War Memorial Maintenance Fund to preserve the Korean War Memorial in Washington DC. Also, this organization makes annual contributions from its membership dues and member contributions. Usually, these contributions go for items that help veteran patients at the Dallas VA Hospital. Our members have gave several hundred dollars for such items as pagers which the hospital issues to patients waiting for service.
