Grant funding is also available to veteran service organizations with 501(c)(19) status and nonprofit organizations that have a mission of serving Pennsylvania veterans and have been granted 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code. Funding priorities for applicants in this category are transportation services, behavioral health initiatives, homelessness, and employment and education.

Since the grant program began in 2013, 254 grants totaling $6,591,860 have been awarded to organizations providing services to veterans in Pennsylvania.

The VTF is funded by Pennsylvanians who voluntarily donate when applying for or renewing driver’s licenses, photo IDs, or motor vehicle registrations; purchase Honoring Our Veterans standard and motorcycle license plates; purchase Honoring our Women Veterans standard license plates; or make private donations.

The DMVA is authorized to solicit and accept donations to the VTF on behalf of the commonwealth. Tax-deductible donations can be made at www.donate.dmva.pa.gov; information about donating by mail is also available on this website.

B.R. Kreider & Son Acquires H.L. Wiker

B.R. Kreider & Son Inc., an excavating, paving and site management company based in Manheim, recently announced the asset purchase of H.L. Wiker Inc. Excavating in Lancaster.

The new team members will operate out of one of B.R. Kreider’s three locations in Manheim, Lebanon and Quarryville, according to Brent Kreider, president of B.R. Kreider & Son Inc.

H.L. Wiker has been serving customers in southcentral and eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and northern Maryland since 1988. The company is led by secondgeneration owners Donna Shoff and Jeff Wiker. As the owners looked to transition their business, they felt that the values and culture closely aligned with B.R. Kreider & Son, and it made sense to join the two teams and exit.
