Current Projects
Valor Clinic → April & May
The Valor Clinic is located in Kunkletown and works to help make a positive difference in Veteran’s lives. Their mission is to provide Veterans with assistance accessing benefits, securing shelter, and providing long-lasting Post Traumatic Stress resources. VALOR helps find shelter for Veterans who, due to health or means, are unable to find or keep shelter of their own, and Post Traumatic Stress resources to Veterans through our Veterans Unstoppable program. Their Veteran food program offers monthly deliveries of non-perishable food, hygiene items, and more to qualified individuals. Please use your mission envelope and write “Valor” to donate.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.
