KINGS MOUNTAIN, NC – Catawba Two Kings Casino presented two local community organizations – Kings Mountain Little Theatre and Shelby Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 4066 – with $5,000 each through its Share Change program.
The $10,000 was raised 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.
Kings Mountain Little Theatre is a volunteer-based non-profit community theater in Cleveland County. It owns and operates the Joy Theatre and the Liberty Mountain Garden. The theater offers the study and repertory presentation of both tried and untried dramatic works and associated arts, including plays, musicals and educational youth summer camps.
Shelby VFW Post 4066 is a non-profit veteran’s service organization comprised of eligible wartime veterans and military service members in Cleveland County, NC, 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.
