In 1946, Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) was established by law to provide comfort and well-being to America’s Veterans. With our many retail stores, cafés and coffee shops across the

country, we serve those who have served our country. Our Canteens are whole health spaces for Veterans to connect, relax, share and care for themselves in an environment that is their

benefit. We are proud to Serve America’s Veterans and those who provide for their care. VCS is proud to be a part of the Department of Veterans Affairs. As a self-sustaining entity, VCS

provides merchandise and services to Veterans enrolled in VA's Health Care System, their families, caregivers, VA employees, volunteers and visitors. We are honored to "give

back" to the VA through many programs established for the health and well-being of our nation's heroes. Revenues generated from VCS are used to support a variety of Veteran

programs. Visit Veterans Canteen Service (VCS) Home (va.gov) to learn more about VCS services and to shop online. VCS SERVICES OFFERED AT BILOXI VAMC PATRIOTSTORE VCS operates more than 200
