You can support the drive by donating the following items during regular business hours: 

  • New Socks: All sizes are welcome to help provide warmth and comfort.
  • Coats: Both new and gently used, clean coats in all sizes are needed.

Drop-Off Details

Why Your Contribution Matters

Every donation—whether a single pair of warm socks or a heavy winter coat—directly benefits local veterans facing hard times. The Veterans Welcome Home & Resource Center in Little River, SC works tirelessly to ensure that former service members receive the care, shelter, and support they deserve. By participating in this drive, our community can come together to show gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
