Make Simple donation on MOAA site by credit card. No fees to donor or us

The Veterans Helping Veterans Program was conceived in 2017 by Laurence (Steve) Moore, a disabled Army Captain who died in 2019 (Agent Orange exposure) and John Murphy.  Embracing their passion for assisting Veterans, Steve and John conceptualized and implemented a program in collaboration  with local restaurants to offer discounts to “ticket holders” on food purchased at their establishments.  Tickets were sold in the community and to members for approximately $20.00-25.00 offering a 10-20% discount depending on the venue and frequency of visits.  Initial venues included Beaver Creek Tavern, Sly Fox Eatery and Baxter’s American Grill.  Many tickets were  sold. Community members who did not buy tickets donated generously after learning about the program.  All proceeds go to support Veteran Activities. 

The money collected provided financial support to sponsor events for Veterans at the Coatesville and Spring City PA VA in our local community.  Over the last 18 months, the sponsored programs provided camaraderie and storytelling among VF MOAA members and local veterans who attended a Phillies game, putt putt golf, picnics and ice cream socials hosted by the MOAA.  The program continues with community support and active member participation, albeit somewhat modified by Covid-19. Our most recent efforts included donations of books, and supplies for veterans in transition.
