Today we want to thank our 75 Lehigh Valley Stand Down volunteers for conducting the Stand Down in Easton, Bethlehem, and Allentown on July 26, 2025.

In the heart of Kunkletown, Pennsylvania, Paul’s House, a veterans’ sanctuary operated by the VALOR Clinic Foundation, stands as a beacon of hope for veterans facing homelessness and hardship.

The higher rate of homelessness among veterans compared to civilians is a complex issue rooted in systemic challenges like poverty, mental health struggles, and the difficulties of transitioning from military to civilian life.  Through its three-phased approach—outreach, transitional housing, and permanent housing support—VALOR provides veterans with the tools, resources, and community needed to rebuild their lives. By addressing both immediate needs and underlying causes, VALOR exemplifies the power of community-based, veteran-focused solutions in the fight to end veteran homelessness.

This is for all those who found it in their heart to make someone's life better by providing HOPE. Her tears today were happy tears when she saw all the wonderful donations that generous donors sent with LOVE and COMPASSION.

Today we want to thank the 24 Volunteers and our team who conducted the Dansbury Park Stand Down, including Volunteers from Helping Hands & Beyond, Pocono Grace SDA, RSVP, Stroudsburg’s Rotary Foundation. Warm thanks to the Knights of Columbus Council 11935 from East Stroudsburg, who come out to Danbury every month to provide a hot meal, coffee, snacks, water, and conversation for all of us!

Hope for the Homeless is one of VALOR Clinic Foundation’s Four innovative core Programs. VALOR supports Veterans through Stand Downs in 9 Cities, Homeless Veteran Recovery Centers, and Household Goods Assistance. Walk-in-Wednesday is a monthly event for Veterans and their families. At these events, VALOR gives away clothing like a clothing closet.
