Catawba Nation's Share Change Program

KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. (May 28, 2025) – The Catawba Nation’s Catawba Two Kings Casino recently presented two local community organizations – Kings Mountain Little Theatre Inc. and Shelby Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4066 – with $5,000 each through its Share Change program. The $10,000 was raised from January through March through the Share Change program, which enables
casino patrons to donate the remaining change on slot vouchers by dropping them in ticket boxes on the casino floor. The program has now provided $140,000 to community organizations since it began in July 2021.
“Thanks to our generous patrons, Catawba Two Kings Casino is honored to be able to give back to the surrounding community and provide beneficial funding to these important organizations,” said Catawba Nation Chief Brian
Harris.

Shelby VFW Post 4066 is a nonprofit veteran’s service organization comprised of eligible wartime veterans and military service members in Cleveland County, N.C., from the active, guard and reserve forces. The Community Kitchen project was started in 2024 as a partnership between the VFW and the Foothills Farmer’s Market. Farmers can rent the kitchen to create value added products, including jams,
pickles and baked goods. The income produced by the kitchen rental supports the VFW’s veteran relief program.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) donated $34,070 to Cleveland County Schools to help with its special needs programs.

On Tuesday, students from classrooms across Cleveland County gathered at the Central Services Building in Shelby, to say, 'thank you' to the local chapter of the VFW for the work to support the needs of children in the school system.

This is the third year the VFW has raised money for the program. It has gone from raising $6,000 its first year to the more than $34,000 this year. The VFW raised the money through donations and their annual golf tournament/poker run, which was held on May 7, VFW auxiliary president Roger Vassey said.

“We really appreciate the community support,” Vassey said.

Donations came in from all over the state and more keep coming to the VFW. All the money will be going to help support the special needs programs throughout the school system.

Some of the ways the donations will be used will be to help support summer camp scholarships, help to buy supplies for classrooms and professional development for faculty and teachers.
