The Virginia Veterans Services Foundation and the Virginia Department of Veterans Services announced Wednesday that the Disabled American Veterans Department of Virginia has donated four specially equipped minivans to transport residents of state veterans care centers to medical appointments.

The wheelchair-accessible 2024 Chrysler Pacifica minivans, valued at more than $72,000 each, were presented at the Virginia War Memorial. One van will serve each of Virginia’s four veterans care centers.

The vans will serve the Davis & McDaniel Veterans Care Center in Roanoke, Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center in Richmond, Jones & Cabacoy Veterans Care Center in Virginia Beach, and the Puller Veterans Care Center under construction in Fauquier County.

“These new minivans will be a big help in transporting our veterans to medical appointments, especially when it’s just one or two veterans at a time,” added Commissioner Chuck Zingler of the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. “At present, we use one of our 15-passenger buses for this purpose – the smaller size of the minivans gives us greater operational flexibility.”

The four 2024 model Chrysler Pacifica minivans, are each wrapped with a colorful patriotic theme.
