Covina Field of Valor Flags




Covina unfurls 2001 Flags honoring our Troops and Veterans

In 2011, the Pentagon estimated that 20% of our Veterans would be homeless. We took a stand and made a huge commitment to ensure our local Veterans would be cared for. We started planning Field of Valor, and it took us a year to launch the first field in 2012. In collaboration with the Veterans Administration, local law enforcement, and community support, has taken over 60 homeless Veterans from under their tents and placed them into housing. They remain in housing and are productive members of our society today. In addition, we have helped over 500 Veterans stay in their homes, and have paid rent, utilities, and various other bills on their behalf.

This project was started by the Covina Rotary Club.  It has since become an entire community event, and its own Foundation.

​

One hundred percent of the funds raised from the Field of Valor will provide assistance to our local Veterans, the families of our deployed military, and the Ontario USO. We are the ONLY Flag Field in the San Gabriel Valley that dedicates money raised solely to benefit our military.

​
