Fundraising for the Valor Clinic Foundation

Several upcoming fundraisers are scheduled to benefit the Valor Clinic Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps veterans and their families throughout northeastern Pennsylvania.

Last year, the Valor Clinic served over 4,000 veterans and their families through programs that provide outreach and housing stabilization to homeless and at-risk veterans; peer-driven wellness and reintegration; holiday food boxes and meals; and benefits navigation and advocacy. Its October fundraising events are:

• Cornhole Toss for Veterans in Need – Sunday, Oct. 17^th from noon to 7 p.m. at the BRIX Brewhouse in Brodheadsville.

The Valor Clinic will also host the following free events in October that use peer to peer and outdoor events like fishing and hunting to help veterans with elevated social conflict, emotional scars and a loss of purpose and direction. Life partners and significant others are encouraged to attend.

• Veteran Unstoppable Program Peer to Peer – Oct. 15^th, 22^nd and 29^th at its Paul’s House Facility in Kunkletown.
• Veterans Unstoppable Peer to Peer Program – Oct. 20^th from 6:30–8 p.m. at American Legion Post 927.

POW/MIA Recognition Day in Stroudsburg

In September, I attended the POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony in Stroudsburg with the Vietnam Veterans of America.

It was a meaningful opportunity to remember the brave men and women who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action, along with the families who have carried their absence for decades.

We owe these service members and their families our deepest gratitude and our promise to never forget. You are not forgotten.

Opening of The Women Veterans Museum in Stroudsburg

Last month, I was honored to be invited to the Soft Opening of The Women Veterans Museum as they celebrated their new home at 107 North 7^th Street in Stroudsburg! A special thank you to Claudette and all the other volunteers who make this such a special place to visit, you are truly appreciated!
