We are excited to welcome you to season 3 of Untold Valor! To kick off the new season, we had the honor of speaking with Felecia Coffee, a remarkable community leader in Collingdale, Pennsylvania, dedicated to serving veterans and those in need. Her mission? To bless others as she has been blessed. 

Felecia is at the forefront of numerous community initiatives, including The Empowerment Zone, an organization she founded to provide 24-hour emergency food coverage to veterans and essential services to senior citizens and children in need. Her work shows the powerful impact community support can have on the lives of those who have served our country. Stay tuned to learn about the incredible things The Empowerment Zone is doing to serve the Collingdale community!
