At Valley Outreach, we believe that everyone deserves access to the essentials—whether that’s a nutritious meal, a warm winter coat, or a sense of belonging. In-kind donations of food and clothing are a cornerstone of how we support the community. These generous gifts from individuals, families, workplaces, and faith communities help us continue our mission.

Food Donations: More Than Just a Meal

While we do purchase food to help meet growing demand, it’s the in-kind donations that bring diversity, creativity, and richness to what we can offer. Cooking oil, spices, condiments, baking supplies—these items are more than staples. They allow people to prepare meals that feel familiar, comforting, and culturally meaningful.

Valley Outreach welcomes donations of non-perishable, unopened food items all year long and fresh garden produce during the summer and fall. Food donations help us go beyond the basics. They let us offer real choice, honor dietary preferences, and meet people where they are. When you donate pantry items, you’re not just helping provide food—you’re helping someone feel at home in their own kitchen.

Why It Matters

Every in-kind donation makes a tangible difference. These contributions stretch our resources further and allow us to offer a level of choice and care that would otherwise be out of reach.

If you’ve ever donated a bag of groceries or a bundle of clothing—thank you. You’ve made a direct, meaningful impact. And if you’re thinking about donating, know that your gift will go exactly where it’s needed most.

We’re always in need of pantry staples and clothing for people of all ages and sizes. Whether it’s a few items or a whole carload, your donations are helping support our mission!
