RESTORING

Valor's Hike..."Walk Off the War"

Earl Shaffer said he was going to “walk off the war” after returning from World War II, and four months later became the first person to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. That same principle is what we're going to use to help combat veterans dealing with PTSD, TBI, Depression, addiction, etc. Working with local veteran organizations, drug courts, and rehab facilities, VV is gonna take groups of veterans on the Pinhoti trail. Located in North Alabama, the 3 day hike will have older veterans, family's of veterans, etc at each trail head to share their stories. Local organizations will provide meals at the trailheads also.  

Valor's Pet Fostering

Military service members often are forced to make the impossible decisions to surrender their beloved pets when they are being deployed. Deployments are stressful enough without the looming sadness of leaving behind a family pet. In 2025, we're launching an initiative to have FREE kennel ran by a professional and veteran volunteers so deployed soldiers can know their pets are being cared for while they take care of us.
