Generous donations help veterans get ready for the cold winter weather ahead
Hundreds of veterans received new winter boots, coats, hats and gloves, at no cost to them, thanks to Goodwill and other volunteers at two different Veterans Stand Down events in both Rapid City and Sioux Falls, South Dakota this September.
Volunteers were handing out the supplies during the Veterans Stand Down in Rapid City on Thursday, Sept. 19th and at the event in Sioux Falls on Friday, Sept. 20th.
128 veterans were served at the event in Sioux Falls, while 108 were served during Rapid City’s event.
All leftover clothing was given to other South Dakota groups, including the VA, to distribute to local veterans before the end of the year.
