Richmond, VA – According to the statement, the organizations are: Straight Street, a Christian outreach ministry to support at-risk teens, and the Bradley Free Clinic’s HOPE initiative to support individuals battling Substance Use Disorder.

“I am proud to support these two nonprofits supporting the Roanoke Valley community in significant ways.
I am grateful to Straight Street and the Bradley Free Clinic’s HOPE Initiative for providing spaces and resources for hope, health and healing in the beloved Roanoke region.
