The McCormick Area Veterans Association (MAVA)
The McCormick Area Veterans Association (MAVA) is located in Savannah Lakes Village, SC, but also serves the area’s neighboring counties. Honorably discharged members from all service branches are welcome. There’s no rank in MAVA. As suggested by our motto, “Vets For Vets," our purpose is to promote fellowship & assistance among service veterans, immediate family members & survivors in our greater community. We’re also associated with the Long Cane NSDAR chapter.
Activities include:
- Assistance & Visits to Veterans Hospitals
- Field Trips
- Flag Retirement Ceremonies
- Food Bank Donations
- Guest Speakers
