About us

Veterans Assistance Local Ongoing Recognition (VALOR) is a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit charity that was originally formed in 1986; our goal is to ensure that any needy Veteran and their families have food available when they need it.

Many Veterans are often in a position where they encounter great difficulty in securing assistance due to bureaucratic delays and red tape. Our goal is to make food available so that no Veteran and his or her family will go hungry for even one day.

Since our inception in 1986, VALOR has donated nearly a half of a Million dollars to this cause. VALOR has had Zero Overhead. This means that 100% (That’s right, 100%!) of your donation goes directly to provide food for our Veterans and their families.

The funds that VALOR receive go directly to the Veterans Food Pantry that is maintained by the Vietnam Veterans of America, Local WNY Chapter #77 in the City of Tonawanda, the location of the Veterans Food Pantry is at 47 Main Street in the City of Tonawanda NY 14150. The pantry is open Wednesday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 PM, you can reach the pantry at 716-693-4479 for more information.

The funds donated for food at this pantry are available to ANY needy Veterans and their families, NOT just Vietnam Veterans.
