Embracing Racial Equity and Social Justice: Valley Outreach's Journey Towards Positive Change
Valley Outreach has made strides over the past year to prioritize racial equity and social justice in all aspects of its operations. Recognizing the need for change, our organization has invested time, resources, and commitment to ensure that racial equity and social justice become a cornerstone of our identity.

Be Curious: Women's History Month
We celebrate Women’s History Month every March to align with International Women’s Day on March 8. In the 1970s, the movement to recognize women and their achievements gained momentum to be first celebrated for a week and then a month. Britannica.com says, “Each March, Americans celebrate National Women’s History Month: a chance to recognize women’s varied, and often under-recognized, accomplishments throughout history.”
"They took care of me getting help when I was in active addiction trying to get out of it and get help into treatment. And the food, I still get help there once in a while - I’ve learned to accept help because now having my own place and all the bills, food is expensive but the volunteers and employees always have a smile on their faces and truly enjoy helping people. One of the reasons I am planning to go to school for my LISCW - I want to help others too instead of just helping myself ❤️” -Valley Outreach Client
