As we look back on the past year, one thing is abundantly clear: the generosity of donors and volunteers has made an incredible difference. Because of people like you, Valley Outreach has been able to provide food, clothing, and personalized assistance to more than 31,000 people in the community. That’s 31,000 moments of relief, dignity, and hope — each one made possible through your compassion.
The Power of Your Support
Every day, we see firsthand how your support changes lives. Whether it’s a family finding nourishing food for the week, a parent selecting warm winter clothing for their children, or someone receiving personalized guidance during a difficult time, your kindness ensures that people feel seen, supported, and valued.
Your support does more than fill shelves — it helps families thrive during challenging times. Many of the people who walk through our doors are navigating uncertain or rapidly changing circumstances. When they arrive, they’re not just looking for resources; they’re looking for understanding, encouragement, and a sense of stability. Thanks to you, that’s exactly what they find.
Cheri, one of our clients, shared her experience with us:
“When I first came in for food, I didn’t realize what it was going to be like. But when I walked in, everybody had a smile on their face … It’s like a miracle to be able to come here.”
Stories like Cheri’s remind us why this work matters. They reflect the power of community care and how deeply kindness ripples outward, creating a sense of belonging and trust for the people we serve.
Your Gift Can Go Even Further Right Now
As the year winds down, many supporters have already stepped up to help us meet the needs of the community — and their generosity has activated a $150,000 Challenge Match. This match is already underway, and every dollar you give before December 31st is amplified, helping your support stretch further for the thousands of people who rely on Valley Outreach.
Our goal is to triple the match before the end of the year, ensuring Valley Outreach remains community-powered, flexible, and ready to respond to whatever 2026 brings. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to that goal.
