ʻOhana Food Distribution Supports Our Community

VA Pacific Islands held its monthly ʻOhana Food Distribution Friday at the Daniel K. Akaka VA Medical Center, providing free groceries to support Veterans, military families and members of our community.

With Lala approaching the Hawaiian Islands, staff, volunteers and community partners helped ensure the distribution was completed ahead of the storm, providing families with additional resources as they prepared for the incoming weather.

Mahalo to everyone who continues to make the ʻOhana Food Distribution possible and helps us care for our Veterans and community.

This past Tuesday we had a fantastic Community Call and Veterans Town Hall at the American Samoa Government Office of Veterans Affairs!

Mahalo and thank you to every Veteran who took the time to attend, ask questions, share feedback, and engage with VA leadership. Your voices help us better serve Veterans across American Samoa.

A special thank you to the ASG Office of Veterans & Military Affairs for hosting us and for your continued partnership in supporting our nation’s Veterans.

We’re also grateful to our Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) team, who connected Veterans on site with VA staff members participating remotely. This approach allowed even more Veterans to speak directly with benefits advisors and get answers to their questions.

We appreciate everyone who helped make this event a success. We look forward to returning to American Samoa to continue connecting Veterans with their earned benefits, expanding access to VA health care, and providing opportunities to engage directly with VA leadership.

Thank you for your service—we’ll see you again soon!
