Hey Vinny rays fans!! NORTH CAROLINA UPDATE! So everyone has been asking how to help with the coat drive that Shelby is heading for another trip down to North Carolina! We have several donation hubs at this point set up! Impact fitness in Hillsboro Ohio is taking donations. Donations can be given to Shelby Dawn Holt directly. Debbie Holt in Fayetteville is taking donations. You can send money for coats to Vinny rays zelle account or Patriot strong podcast Venmo. River hills Christian Church on route 50 outside of Fayetteville is taking coat and blanket donations for us as well. If you want to donate you can call/text Shelby @9376909462 for the closest option to you. As for what to donate! If you want to donate monetarily there are options but if you would prefer to donate materials we are hoping to collect coats children's 2t all the way up to men's 3xl. They can be used but please make sure they are clean and gently used or brand new. We also need hats, gloves, mittens and blankets for kids and adults. Help us help the people have some Christmas cheer and warmth as it gets colder outside! Thanks again to everyone that has helped so far and we appreciate all the help we can get this time around!

Happy thanksgiving everyone!!! We camped out last night and woke up to the view across the way and some metal crosses scattered around our trailer. God's got us now let's help him get everyone fed and taken care of!

Hey everybody!! We made it to Burnsville N.C. we have barely scratched the surface on the devastation in the area but we are here! Burnsville has tons of help for the holiday currently so God's sending us on down into swananoa in the morning! Sorry for less than frequent updates but service in these mountains is spotty and so are the roads so we will update as we can.

11/27/2024

Refuel for us and the truck! come on... 💪

11/27/2024

Here we go!!!!! Thank you to everyone who helped us get this far! We have over 1000lbs of stew ready to go, rolls, crackers, drinks, treats and more to try to help some people have a happy holiday and we couldn't have done it without the support! We will post updates as we get down there! Keep us in your prayers! 🙏🇺🇲💪👍

Thank you to everyone who has been helping support us as we prepare for the NC trip! We just got 100 CANS of tomato juice to be able to finish the stew thanks to donated money and we also are blessed to have had water dropped off to take as well. Got a lot of work to do this week so that we can use your support and go make a difference! 🙏❤️🇺🇸

NORTH CAROLINA TRIP UPDATE! Between current donations and promised donations we are only $1000 shy of our goal! We already have made enough stew and froze it for our trip to feed 270 people and we also have the pork to make enough stew for another 540 people! The next week and a half we are going to try to get as much stew made as we can to take with us. Klosterman has donated 1000 rolls for us to take and offer with every bowl of stew we serve but we need volunteers to help pre wrap the rolls and get some general prep done before we leave. If anyone has interest in donating here's a QR link or if anyone wants to volunteer your time to help us get ready to go please contact Vinny at 5137205119 or call Shelby at 9376909462.

Hey Vinny rays fans!! Don’t forget cash days pickups today from 1pm-6pm

11/06/2024

Hey Vinny Ray fans!! We have the zelle account up and here is an easy way to access it!!

Hey Vinny Rays fans! While we are gearing up for this trip to North Carolina we have had several people ask about a digital way to donate for the cause. We recently found out most banks have Zelle as a money transfer option that doesn't overload the donations with fees. so if you check and you have zelle access you can look the account up under [email protected] or the phone number 513-720-5119. For anyone that wants to give cash and cant easily get to Vinny, we are working on setting up a few locations in towns nearby as MONETARY donation hubs. So far Clingers mini-mart in Felicity and Plane street Coffee House and Cafe in Bethel have both offered to be a location where anyone can drop off cash/gift cards for the trip. Thank you to everyone who has shared so far and for those who have helped and donated up to this point. We have sat down and worked through the cost of food as well as propane and fuel and We have a monetary goal of $3500 for this trip hoping to feed 800-1000 people over the course of the 3 days we are down there. If we have an excess of food after our time there, we plan to distribute it amongst the churches and fire depts. in the area local to Burnsville, N.C. So again thank you to everyone that has helped so far and we will keep everyone updated as we get further along.
