At VA, every role plays a part in our mission to care for those who served our country—and that includes the dedicated individuals who work in food service. From preparing nutritious meals for patients, visitors and staff to supporting hospital kitchen operations, VA food service workers help ensure that Veterans receive high-quality care and comfort each day.
More than a meal—a mission
Food service workers at VA facilities do more than cook and serve meals. They contribute to the healing process by delivering safe, nourishing food tailored to the medical and personal needs of Veterans. Whether it’s customizing a heart-healthy diet, working closely with clinical nutrition staff, or delivering meals with kindness, these crucial members of the Nutrition and Food Services team help ensure no Veteran is overlooked or underserved.
Join VA
VA is always looking for qualified and motivated applicants to join our Nutrition and Food Service team. “I’ve been here 11 and a half years. What kept me here?” VA cook Larry Thomas asked. “The Veterans, the benefits, the growth and opportunity.”
