VA Portland Health Care System To Host National Afternoon Out Event - 07/28/26

PORTLAND, Ore.– The Portland VA Health Care System is scheduled to host a “National Afternoon Out” event, patterned after the popular “National Night Out”, being held across the country. The national event is a community-building campaign which promotes first responder-community partnerships.

 

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the Vancouver VA Medical Center, located at 1601 E. 4th Plain Blvd, Vancouver WA 98661.

 

Hosted by the VA Police Department, Veterans and neighbors are invited to the Vancouver VA campus to meet with VA and local first responders in a community-building event which promotes strong partnerships and camaraderie to ensure our VA Clinics are safe and caring places to visit and work. The event also serves as an opportunity for Veterans and their families to learn more about the wealth of resources, programs, and benefits available to them with the Portland VA Health Care System.

 

Throughout the event, attendees can explore a wide range of informational booths and talk directly with experts about programs designed to support Veterans and their loved ones. Topics include Caregiver Support Programs, healthcare services, mental health and wellness resources, crisis intervention support, benefits assistance, housing programs, and tools for navigating life transitions after service. In addition to resource education, families can enjoy demonstrations, interactive activities, and opportunities to build meaningful relationships with the VA Police Officers who proudly serve the VA community.

 

This National Afternoon Out is more than a safety event—it’s a commitment to ensuring every Veteran and family member feels informed, supported, and connected. We welcome all Veterans, families, caregivers, and community partners to join us in celebrating community, resilience, and service.

 

As a Federal agency, VA Portland Health Care System cannot endorse, recommend, or imply a referral to any non-government organization, including National Night Out.
