Valor Clinic in Brodheadsville is collecting nonperishable food items for its holiday meals program. Gift cards are also accepted.

“We distribute holiday meal boxes three times a year,” said Susan Schwarz, Holiday Meal Coordinator for Valor. “We distribute meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter to approximately 400 veteran families in need. The holidays can be a very stressful time for veterans, and our program helps ease some financial stress at those times.”

Valor has a booth at the West End Fair this week to collect donations. It also has a barrel at ShopRite in Brodheadsville where donations can be placed through December. Valor will have volunteers at ShopRite on Sept. 16, Oct. 8, and Nov. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Colossal Radio is hosting an event at the Hofford Mill in Weissport on Sept. 4 to support the holiday meal program. Get more information at ColossalRadio.rocks/jeepfest.

Follow Valor Clinic Foundation on Facebook for holiday meal program updates. To host a food drive, help deliver meals, or nominate a veteran family in need contact Schwarz at 609-480-6263.

Items or gift cards may be dropped off or shipped to Paul’s House (Valor), 1130 Scenic Drive, Kunkletown, Pa.,18058.
