This year’s VA Providence Winter Coat Drive brought together staff, community partners, and supporters to ensure Veterans facing hardship stay warm during the colder months.

Hundreds of coats, hats, gloves, and winter essentials were collected and made available to Veterans who rely on our Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team (H-PACT).

The effort demonstrated the power of community partnership. Donations from H-PACT Trailer 37 staff, Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, Ocean State Job Lot, and numerous other local organizations played a vital role in making the drive a success.

VA Providence extends sincere gratitude to all who contributed to this essential effort supporting our most vulnerable Veterans.
