"Walk In Wednesday" Hopes To Benefit Veterans

A new program in Monroe County to help veterans get a hand up on the homefront is not getting the response organizers hoped they'd receive. Officials need to get the word out to reach more servicemen and women. News13's Nicole Walters shares what "Walk In Wednesday" is about.

Bags of nonperishable food items are checked this morning inside Paul’s House in Jonas. The Valor Clinic Foundation has many lined up and ready to go for "Walk In Wednesday."

Valor Clinic Founder Mark Baylis says, "This is the third month. It seems like we’re starting to get a little uptick. We’ve had a few more people than we’ve had in the past. That’s great so we’re going to keep running it."

Army Veteran Victor Arocho recently moved to Tamaqua and is one of those people stopping by today.
