Corey Winget of Vapor Galleria in Allentown, PA, has a heart for the homeless, spurring his decision to camp out in front of his business until he raises enough money to support The Salvation Army\u2019s 2016 Holiday Dinner and Food Bank. Vapor Galleria is a national franchise that offers a wide range of e-cigarettes, hardware and premium juices which provide an effective alternative to smoking or using tobacco products.<\/p>\n

Beginning Monday, December 19th at 12 Noon, Mr. Winget will himself become homeless outside his store at 4672 Broadway Road in Allentown, PA. He will remain outside day and night, rain or shine, until he reaches his goal of raising $3,000 to support The Salvation Army Holiday Dinner and Food Bank. In addition, Vapor Galeria will also generously donate 20% of their sales in December to feed the homeless. When asked\u00a0 why this is so important to him, Winget said, \u201cI\u2019ve always had a soft spot for the homeless. The Salvation Army does great work in the valley and is in need of help. I\u00a0 want to help!\u201d<\/p>\n

Any amount will help Mr. Winget raise the necessary funds to help feed the homeless this holiday season.<\/p>\n

To donate, a Salvation Army red kettle will be on site, or donations may be made online: at www.LehighValley.SalvationArmy.org.<\/u><\/a> Donations may also be mailed to 344 North\u00a0 7th Street, PO Box 147 Allentown, PA \u00a018105.<\/p>\n
