OPG Core Values

At Official Patriot Gear (OPG), service is the cornerstone of everything we do, extending beyond customer interactions to making a meaningful impact in communities in need. This year, we lived out this core value in Western North Carolina (WNC) by raising over $100,000 to help families and businesses recover from the devastation of Hurricane Helene. Through your generosity and the incredible dedication of the OPG Ambassador Family, we were able to allocate every dollar to restore hope, rebuild infrastructure, and provide essential resources. From funding rescue equipment for Aerial Recovery Group with $45,000 to helping local businesses like O.C. Whitson General Store and Sheena’s Family Restaurant rebuild with $15,000 and $20,000, respectively, every effort was focused on serving those hardest hit. Additional funds supported displaced families with shelter and necessities, a dairy farmer restarting his operations, and even groceries for local residents. These actions embody the OPG mission: making the word “Patriot” synonymous with “here to help.” We are deeply grateful for the support of our community and the OPG Ambassador Family, whose passion and commitment made these efforts possible. Together, we’ve proven that service isn’t just a value—it’s a movement. Stay tuned for our next blog post, where we’ll explore how this core value drives everything we do. Thank you for being part of this journey and for making a difference. - The OPG Team
