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!
WOW! Talk about moving ahead! The framing has come a long way, close to 80% complete...plumbing in on the main floor up to the food pantry side, and that can be done very soon. Electrical has been our big achievement of late. The main power is into the building now along with panels and wires run to various main panels on the main floor. The building is really taking shape.
On top of all the construction work being done, we are rebooting our Street Reach teams in November and getting out to the homeless population as the weather starts to turn. Lots of people in their cars, down near the river, at campground parking lots and more. We will be posting one of our outreach videos here next month to show you that work. It is amazing and humbling at the same time.
Funds are an ongoing process as we start paying the big ticket items. We are currently in need of roughly $120,000 to get the roof done and some more infrastructure. If you are able to assist now, it would be greatly appreciated.  We'll work on  updating this page more frequently to keep you informed of the fundraising progress!

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.
