DAV Chapter 109 Titusville, FL

09/28/2026

Hello all, we have updated the DAV Chapter 109 Amazon shopping list for our food insecure veterans as well as our food drive for our Thanksgiving bags.

If you prefer to shop at a big box store like Sam's or Cosco or other supermarket, you are welcome to drop off traditional Thanksgiving items (non-perishable please) and other types of food stuffs you see on the Amazon list or you can purchase from our Amazon shopping list here and it will be shipped direct to DAV, Chapter 109.

We are located at 435 N Singleton Ave, Titusville, Fl. Generally open from 10-2, Mon-Sat to receive items. If you would like to nominate a veteran or veteran family in North Brevard or South Volusia county for a Thanksgiving food bag, a nomination sheet is near the kitchen. We provide the turkeys.

Thank you for thinking of our veterans.

I see a lot of first timers asking how to make a claim. This is the Junior Vice Commander of DAV Chapter 109 and I recommend if you live or work nearby Titusville, FL, you stop in and see us. We are walk-in only, first come, first serve six days a week. However, if you are not near us or another DAV, or you need a more email/phone driven communication exchange, there are other DAV Chapters or even other Veterans Service Organizations (VSO) who may be able to assist. Yeah, Gimbels verses Macy’s..if you know you know, lol.

P.S. If you don’t have all of this, come and talk to us anyway. We can help, ask questions, and advise on a way forward. Best wishes as you go through the VA Claims process.

Updated with revised information for clarity and in response to some comments. Hope it helps those who are now 100% P&T or permanent TDIU.

Often get the question, how do I know whether P&T.

Log in to your Veterans Benefit Account. Go to Benefits. Go to VA letters. Go to Benefits and Service Summary. Should say 100% P&T or Permanent Unemployability (or words to that effect). If you unclick the $ amount and print, this is the letter you take with you to the property tax office, the DMV, or the base ID card section.

Not much room, but would you like to add or correct something on the “So I’m 100% P&T or Permanent TDIU, Now What” post?

Hi everyone, I haven’t been posting too much lately due to surgery for lung cancer. Feeling well and thankful for my Primary Care Doctor at Viera VA, the medical team at Lake Nona, Orlando VA and very grateful to the doctors at Orlando Health Cancer Institute…from your Jr Vice Commander, DAV Chapter 109.

DAV/DAVA Team 109 thanks everyone for supporting our food insecure veterans over the last several months via our Amazon shopping list. We are beginning our push to gather non-perishable food items to make food bags for veterans/veteran families in need for Thanksgiving. We have added many traditional Thanksgiving meal items to our shopping list and appreciate any support. If you’re not up for ordering a case of something on Amazon, but would like to drop off a box of stuffing or a can of yams, etc feel free. If you are a veteran/veteran family in need, or know of a veteran family in need in North Brevard or South Volusia counties, we are accepting nominations for these Thanksgiving food bags at the DAVA Unit 109 auxiliary at 435 N Singleton Ave, Titusville, FL; Mon-Fri 10 am-2:30 pm. We’ll provide the turkeys too! Stop by the kitchen and fill out a nomination sheet. Thanks for caring.
