E-Donate Is Simple, Speedy, Safe
E-Donate, a new online donation option, provides community members who wish to give back to Veterans at a VA medical center a simple and safe way to pledge their support to the account of their choice.
“We live in a community that is very grateful to the Veterans who have given so much of themselves,” said Medical Center Director James Cody. “We’re glad to have that support. Now anyone with five dollars and five minutes can contribute online.”
The E-Donate option allows donors to select from a number of accounts at the medical center they wish to donate to. One hundred percent of their donations go to the accounts they select and the Veteran patients they are choosing to support.
“Donated money at our medical center goes to things like giving hospitalized Veterans items from wish lists they create,” said Voluntary Services Manager Bob Hawes. “People would be amazed if they could see how far their dollar goes toward making a difference in the lives of the people who dedicated themselves to us first.”
Donors can find the E-Donate button on Syracuse VA’s home page. Donations can be made by credit or debit card. The actual donation is made through a secure site at the U.S. Department of Treasury’s www.pay.gov. A minimum of $5 is required for online donation.
