Hazleton Stand Down – October 5th

Hazleton Stand Down – October 5th, 2025

Today we want to thank our 25 Teammates and Volunteers who helped support 102 individuals at our Hazleton Stand Down.   This included 8 Veterans, 3 Dependents, and 91 Civilians, with 17 of those individuals being under 18.   A special thank you to the Volunteers from Ethos and Valor for their dedication and hard work.  

We also want to express our gratitude to the WBSRD (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Roller Derby) for providing delicious food and refreshing drinks, and to the Hazleton Mess Tent Group for helping serve food and always providing a comfortable place for attendees and volunteers to relax while enjoying their meals.  The weather was sunny and hot!  

Thanks to generous donations, VALOR distributed 1,509 items – including clothing, shoes, tents, socks, coats, hygiene items, coats, and food bags.
