Last week, VA Providence and Operation Stand Down Rhode Island partnered at H-PACT Trailer 37 to distribute jackets, gloves, hats, and other winter essentials to Veterans in need.

The event ensured our Veterans are ready to face the colder months ahead, with resources to stay safe and warm. Attendees also enjoyed a hot lunch.

Thank you to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island and everyone who helped make this event a success! Together, we’re keeping Veterans warm and cared for this winter season.
