Hope for the hurting...

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

At Valley Mission, we are committed to delivering compassionate care and whole person solutions, fostering hope, stability, and brighter futures for the most vulnerable members of our community.
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  will provide a comprehensive pathway for individuals seeking a fresh start.

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.

This summer, we will have a focus on different areas. Jobs, health, summer safety tips, and more with special guests agencies presenting support and resources.
Shaping up to be a great season!
FOOD PANTRY AND SUPPORT SERVICES
Until our building renovation is complete, our Food Pantry will operate every Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 408 N. Arthur Avenue.
We welcome community members to pick up essential food items for themselves or their families.
To ensure accessibility for all, please limit pick-up to 2 times per month, allowing our team to assist each visitor efficiently.
Licensed caregivers serving clients, may contact us to discuss arrangements.

Our team of dedicated volunteers is here to help you access the resources you need.
For questions or concerns, reach out to Karl at 208-232-6305 or via email at karl@valleymission.org.
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. And with a focus from the city to 'clean up' areas of the city, the challenge for where to send folks who can't get off the streets becomes more and more challenging.
Pray with us as we seek not only funding, but also a safe place to send folks!
Construction Update:
WOW! There is a lot of work going on in and around the building. Here is a brief look at things in the works and things to come in the next few months:
  • Fire sprinkler final test in the works.
  • All electrical has been installed, minus fixtures, in the Food Pantry area. Once sheetrock is in, we can finish this portion of the install.
  • Plumbing is about 2 weeks out from being completely roughed in.
  • Our first window and PTEC template is in place. It sure does bring a lot of light into this room!
  • HVAC has been installed on the roof and duct work hung in the first Transformational living area.
Next up in the process:
  • Cut window and door openings on the first floor.
  • Install the vent hood in the commercial kitchen.
  • Prep the main floor for insulation so that sheetrock can begin to be hung.
    Did I mention there is a LOT going on? Stop by and check it out when  you can!

Free Tip Sheet: How To Support Individuals Asking For Help

  1. Treat them with dignity.
    Acknowledge individuals with eye contact, a smile, or a friendly greeting. A short conversation can combat the loneliness and isolation that many experience. These small gestures remind people of their inherent dignity and worth. 
  2. Provide Nutritious Food or Supplies.
    Consider keeping a small bag with essentials, such as granola bars, water, or socks, to offer when asked for help. If their sign mentions food, and you have the time, buying a meal can be a meaningful way to provide immediate support.
  3. Direct to Local Resources.
    Share information about community services. Aid for Friends on 1st Street and other local organizations offer day services and meals. Knowing where to find assistance can make a big difference.
