Hope for the hurting...
Reaching the poor with the love and the power of the gospel...
In November 2020, Valley Mission purchased the old Metro Gym, which is being transformed into a vibrant hub for community support.
Our new facility, opening soon, will offer a wide range of resources designed to provide support and hope for individuals and families in Pocatello. This inclusive center will house a weekly food pantry, laundromat, emergency shelter, commercial kitchen and dining area, offices for Valley Mission, and space for local agencies to provide on-site support. Our new Transformational Living Program . scheduled to launch in fall/winter 2025, will provide a comprehensive pathway for individuals seeking a fresh start.

New Home - Food Pantry
AVENUES FOR HOPE CAMPAIGN
December 10 through December 31, 2025
We are excited to participate again in this years campaign! The goal is simple - raise enough funds to complete the construction phase for the Food Pantry - $150,000.
It is an attainable goal and one that is off to a great start! We have already received a few matching gifts that will kickstart the event,
so plan now to give and see your dollars DOUBLE almost immediately!
Your gift goes far beyond funding a building project. While that may be what is seen at first glance, the opportunity to provide a safe, one-level shopping space for our guests is a huge deal. Additionally, we will be in position to offer an alternative shopping time for our senior and physically challenged guests. This allows them to shop in a smaller crowd, as well as allows our team to provide more detailed service and care.

STREET REACH Continues to Grow!
Our Street Reach initiative brings Valley Mission services directly to the community. By visiting homeless encampments throughout Pocatello, our team provides essential supplies and invites individuals to connect with Valley Mission and
partner agencies for long-term support.
The numbers continue to grow each week as we head out! That concerns us as we approach winter with little to no additional space for shelter in the cold months. We are working with other agencies and folks to come up with a plan, but this could be a challenging winter season if things don't fall in place. Please pray for wisdom and a place!

RAMP - Reach Access Mobile Partnership
This is our monthly outreach to our homeless neighbors. A gathering of several partner agencies who join us at a local park to offer resources, support, encouragement and so much more! This gives our neighbors a chance to truly see what and who is available for them and their specific needs.
We are working on an outreach location for our winter months so that this service can continue for our amazing neighbors.
More information to come at the first of the year!
QUICK CONSTRUCTION UPDATE!
We are on our way with sprinkler installation!|
Thanks to an incredible event in October, Conversations On A Bench, we were blessed with more than $100,000 toward the food pantry construction phase!
Now that sprinklers are in process, soon comes the gas line, more electrical, HVAC and some additional plumbing. We are about $150,000 away from raising the remaining funds to complete the Food Pantry phase.
That's one of the many reasons we are part of the Avenues For Hope giving campaign, which you can see in the sections above.
As we raise funds, we will continue to do all the ministry that is in place and will also begin the Warming Shelter process in mid-December.
Please keep praying for our neighbors on the streets!
