The mission February 19: Spit it out for good.

It’s the Great American Spit Out — a day to quit smokeless to***co and take back control.

Veterans are more likely to use smokeless to***co than civilians. But you don’t have to fight ni****ne alone.

VA provides:
✔️ Quit coaching
✔️ Ni****ne replacement therapy
✔️ Prescription medications
✔️ Support programs

Your next victory starts with one decision.

Ask your VA provider how to get started.

February 19 is the Great American Spit Out.

If you use smokeless to***co, make today the day you quit — even if it’s just for 24 hours.

Smokeless to***co increases your risk for:
• Oral cancer
• Gum disease and tooth loss
• Heart disease
• Ni****ne addiction

You served your country. Now protect your health.

VA offers free to***co cessation support, counseling, and medications to help you quit. www.mentalhealth.va.gov/quit-to***co/

🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Community Support for Our Veterans! 🇺🇸

This year, the Columbia VA Charity Ride marked a major milestone — 25 incredible years of community commitment to supporting Veterans beyond clinical care. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into a powerful tradition of service, compassion, and partnership.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, this year’s ride raised over $35,000 in monetary donations and $27,000 in in-kind contributions — providing move-in kits, meal vouchers, emergency food, clothing, and more to Veterans across the region.

🤝 Over the years, these contributions have helped:
• Fulfill 2,180 clothing requests — valued at ~$80,000.
• Provide 186 move-in kits for unhoused Veterans (~$51,150).
• Support Thanksgiving & Christmas box distributions for Veterans in need.

This milestone is a testament to what’s possible when our community stands together — honoring those who served with ongoing care, trust, and respect. Thank you to every rider, volunteer, partner, and supporter who has helped write this legacy over the past 25 years!

Thank you to & , for all you do for our Veterans!
