The following list is a sampling of the agencies and groups associated with veterans’ affairs.
River House PA
A 501(c)3 non-profit whose goal is to facilitate healing through nature, in the form of outdoor adventure and workshops, for veterans and others who have been affected by trauma.
We will provide the skills necessary to enable participants to go into the natural world and feel comfortable, confident and safe. The desire of River House PA is that each individual receive the gifts gleaned from the natural world and utilize those gifts to heal and achieve well-being.

Keystone Soldiers

This is accomplished through letters, cards, care packages and special holiday packages to raise their spirits and show them America has not forgotten them.

Works to improve the lives of our local military service members, veterans and their families by fostering and coordinating support from businesses, organizations, institutions and communities; and by promoting awareness of the military's role in defending America through educational programs and public events.
The Lehigh Valley Veterans History Project
Their mission is to collect, document and preserve the personal experiences of U.S. wartime veterans, as well as home-front workers and volunteers who supported the war effort. The Project’s objective is to honor their service and share their stories with current and future generations, historians and equally important, the veteran’s family members.
Victory House of Lehigh Valley
A nonprofit, community-based organization committed to addressing the problems of homeless men, veterans and non-veterans between the ages of 18 and 65. The 40-bed facility provides 24-hour emergency shelter, transitional housing and supportive services such as counseling, life skills education, medical care and employment assistance to males who have found themselves displaced due to recent incarceration, mental health or substance abuse issues or other related dependency problems.
