Support Our Mission!
Join us for Operation Winter Relief, a winter coat drive dedicated to supporting homeless and at-risk veterans in need.
Winter can be especially challenging for our veterans, as they often face the difficult decision of choosing between paying essential bills or buying appropriate winter clothing. This barrier to stability is something we aim to conquer through this initiative.
From October 20th to November 20th, we will have donation boxes available at the Shelby Police Department and at The Marketplace in Kings Mountain. We kindly request that all donated items be new or dry-cleaned to ensure the health and well-being of our veterans. Unfortunately, items that do not meet this criteria cannot be accepted.

During 'Operation Winter Relief 2023,' Veterans Stability Initiative (VSI) successfully collected and distributed over 200 new and gently used winter coats to veterans in need. With the invaluable assistance of our partners, we identified these veterans who required support to achieve stability heading into the challenging winter months. Thanks to the generous contributions and unwavering support from all of you, VSI was able to make a significant difference in the lives of these veterans!
