Hope for the hurting...

Reaching the poor with the love and the power of the gospel...

November of 2020 Valley Mission purchased the old Metro Gym.
This will be the new home of Valley Mission very soon, which will house the Food Pantry, a new laundromat, an emergency shelter, dining and kitchen area, office space for Valley, a new Transformational Living Program (fall/winter 2025), office space for local agencies and 4 apartment rentals.

We are so excited and blessed to be in this position to help those in our community who desire a fresh start, and look forward to the partnership within this amazing community with other agencies and support!
FOOD PANTRY DISTRIBUTION HOURS - THURSDAYS FROM 3:30 pm UNTIL 6:00 pm
 First Baptist Church, 408 N Arthur Avenue.
We will limit the number of boxes to pick up at one visit to 3. We simply do not have the volunteers to assist with multiple carry-outs at this time.
If you are a  licensed care giver, please contact us to discuss how to receive food for your clients.

 Our team, ALL VOLUNTEERS, is here to help you get the food you need. They are here because they care, and want to show Jesus' love by serving in this way.
If you have concerns, please direct them to Karl at 208-232-6305 or karl@fbcpoky.com and he will be more than happy to assist you.
STREET REACH and Mobile Access Partnerships!

Street Reach is a ministry to the homeless community in Pocatello being offered by Valley Mission. Teams go out to the encampments with supplies and other resources, inviting them to connect with Valley Mission and other agencies who can render the aid they need. This is done weekly and is producing incrdedible results.
We are rebooting our Street Reach for winter outreach along with some additional training for our teams. Our goal is to be out twice weekly, connecting with as many of our homeless neighbors as we can find around town. Your prayers for the teams as they go out and the neighbors we serve are greatly appreciated each week!
We may not have a building ready - but we have willing heart and hands ready and able to meet people where they are with grace, love and hope!
Valley Mission Minute!
Constructionmoves along at a great pace.
* Fire Sprinkler riser and all the compenents of that are in and ready to go.
* Electricians are hard at work installing the panels and bringing in lines to the building.
* Framing in the food pantry and laundromat areas will be completed this week. That is very exciting as we can now see the full potential of almost all of the mission compenents we intend to operate in this space very soon!
Funding is always an ongoing process with this project and we are in the process of raising $1.8 million to finish the construction AND have at least a partial year of operating funds in place for next fall when we plan to open. If you would like more information on how you can help or want a closer look with a tour, please reach out to us and we will make that happen.
In the meantime, continue to pray not only for the funds, but the impact that is being made in the interim with Street Reach and Mobile Access Partnerships. God is doing amazing work there!

A whole person approach to re-engagement...

We are all broken. We all need healing. We all need relationship.
Loving people who are poor and homeless means wanting the best for them – not mere survival but meaningful, purposeful lives.

Join Valley Mission as we affirm each person and offer a pathway to a different way of life.
You can be part of the solution that enables people to re-engage in community, to be an active, participating and contributing member of this amazing valley!
  1. Treat them with dignity. Make eye contact. Smile. Through civil conversation, you can help homeless individuals combat the loneliness, depression  and isolation many of them face.
  2. Give them food/supplies. Carry a Blessing Bag with granola or energy bars, water, etc. If the person's sign says they'r hungry and you have the time, buy them a sandwich and a beverage.
  3. Direct them to places of assistance. Aid for Friends of 4th street has services available throughout the day.
