Valley First is a wonderful community-minded organization with wonderful staff. We have had the pleasure of receiving their support to achieve our mission of cultivating community through local food. Their support has helped us continue to ensure that more people in the Okanagan access healthy fruits and vegetables, that less food is wasted, and that more people are connected to their local food system. Thanks to them, we were able to provide more opportunities for a meaningful and inclusive volunteer experience. How wonderful to be able to mobilize some of the most vulnerable people in our community to take part in a healthy community activity! Thank you so much for all that you do Valley First!

A number of Valley First staff have supported us this Fall with our Financial Literacy programs. All the volunteers from Valley First are awesome! Smart, committed, and well-prepared to make a difference in our local community for Okanagan-area teens. JABC is proud to have such a great support from Valley First employees, we always look forward to seeing them in the classroom!

"Valley First has been a steady, generous partner in Third Space Charity's work. Each year they have stepped up further, not just funding our pay-what-you-can counselling services, but investing directly in training the next generation of the region's mental health workforce. Because of their support, young people across the Okanagan can access timely, low barrier care exactly when they need it, without cost being the reason they wait or go without. Valley First understands that community mental health isn't built through one time gifts. It's built through sustained, trusted partnership, and that is exactly what they have given us. On behalf of everyone at Third Space Charity, and every young person we've been able to support because of them, thank you." — Megan Woodruff, Executive Director, Third Space Charity
