Your Gifts Serve the Community
As we near the end of 2024, Valley Outreach is preparing for the year ahead. This year volunteers and donors have helped us make a positive impact for thousands of individuals and families. Every day, we’re here to offer food, clothing, support and hope to people who are experiencing difficult times. All this is made possible through the generosity of the community—and with your help and your gifts, we can enter 2025 with confidence.
Valley Outreach strategically focuses – in support of our mission – on improving access to services and programs. With your help, we provide food, high-quality clothing, and personalized client support – including homelessness prevention services. Together we can create a stronger, healthier community.
Why Your Support Matters
As we look ahead, we’re excited about what’s possible in the year to come – including improving access to critical basic needs services, always a top priority. We anticipate serving more than 30,000 individuals again across all our programs. With a year-end donation, you’ll directly contribute to:
- Increased Food Security: Your donation helps purchase nutritious food for individuals and families who may otherwise go without it.
- Distributing Warm Winter Gear: From coats to boots to waterproof gloves, these items are in high demand and often difficult to keep in stock for clients. We purchase these high need items to ensure community members stay safe and warm in the Minnesota winters.
- Preventing Homelessness: Our homelessness prevention services focus on keeping families and individuals in their homes. Your donation can help us extend support to those at risk and prevent the traumatic experience of homelessness.
- Staffing a Highly Skilled Team: We need compassionate, diverse, and talented staff members to run our programs. It’s our most important cost of doing business.
- Improved Translation Services: Notably, approximately 20% of those we serve are Spanish-speaking individuals and families, and we’re continually working to ensure our services are accessible to everyone, regardless of language barriers.
Every Gift Helps
Whether it’s a one-time gift, a recurring monthly donation, or a holiday fundraising drive, every donation makes a meaningful difference. Your kindness today builds the stability that community members in need can count on tomorrow. As Valley Outreach board member, Dr. Aurelio Curbelo, recently shared, “Every dollar, every cent that people provide Valley Outreach, is going to be used to help people move forward, to have food, to help kids, to help adults.” Watch our latest video, Blanca’s Story, to learn more.
