Operation: Warm Winter
With Go Camo coming to a close, it's time for us to rev up the momentum for our next initiative: Operation: Warm Winter! Formerly known as the annual Blanket Drive, we've responded to the requests of numerous VAs across the country by expanding the campaign to include the collection of adult-sized winter hats and gloves. Now, we understand that gathering winter supplies during the scorching summer might seem unusual, but this early start will ensure that VAs are well-equipped to provide homeless Veterans with the warmth they need when colder temperatures arrive. Together, let's make a meaningful impact and bring comfort to those in need.
