At Valley Outreach, dignity is a critical part of the experience. Heather Hammond, a Valley Outreach board member, generously shared her personal experiences with accessing food and clothing programs as a child. Her story highlights the importance of creating a welcoming, positive experience for community members.

Valley Outreach believes everyone deserves to feel confident, valued and supported. We design our programs with community input and it shows in their experiences. Shopping for food is similar to a grocery store. StyleXchange reminds us that behind every garment is a story of kindness, connection, and renewed self-esteem. Client support services are collaborative and forward-looking.

You belong at Valley Outreach, whether you’re a client, donor, volunteer or community member. Our work, rooted in principles of racial equity and social justice, not only meets immediate needs but fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support. As we share Heather’s story, we focus on the strength found in kindness, trust, and the collective endeavor to make a difference. We’re committed to continuing to build a place where everyone is seen, heard and supported.
