The Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board has launched a #MontCoStrong t-shirt fundraiser in support of the county's COVID-19 Response Fund. The fund was recently established to aid local relief efforts in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

All of the proceeds will be donated to MontcoPA COVID-19 Response Fund run by one of our members, the Montgomery County Foundation. This exclusively aids community safety net organizations that have been critically impacted by the ongoing public health crisis. These include those serving low-income and food-insecure residents, senior citizens, veterans, homeless, and housebound individuals.
