Hazleton Homeless Outreach Event Scheduled For December 1st

VALOR Clinic Foundation is planning their next Stand Down Sunday December 1st from 10am until 1pm in the parking lot of the old Ollies on West Broad Street in Hazleton.

"We set up our clothing closet, we set up our mess hall, our toiletries, our veteran's trailers, and we're out here helping the community." Jeff Sullivan, Pathfinder and Veteran's Advocate with VALOR said in an interview with Hazleton News 1.

Volunteers provide a warm meal and help the homeless and less fortunate browse through donated items such as clothing, shoes, food, and more.

"Hazleton does have a homeless problem" Volunteer Judy Yurcho said. "People don't believe it, but they're out there." Yurcho, among others, helped serve meals to those in need during the event. Yurcho says she began helping out because her father was a vet who served in WWII and Korea. ​
