Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) is a national veterans service organization primarily serving the needs of veterans of the Vietnam War era throughout the nation and elsewhere. VVA is funded primarily by various fund-raising activities and its membership. One source of funding is through the solicitation and resale of donated household items. VVA solicits these donations by various marketing techniques and profits from the donations by selling them through contractual agreements with qualified retailers. As VVA is a veterans service organization it does not own retail outlets that sell the donations, instead has chosen to sell the donations through a bidding process to qualified retailers.
