Valley First is proud of its strong commitment to its communities and continues to contribute to non-profit and charitable organizations through various community partnerships, sponsorships, donations and in-kind support.
For us, fostering sustainable partnerships that advance a social issue in communities where Valley First operates is a top priority. These partnerships leverage our monetary contributions with knowledge-based volunteerism, employee resources and our extensive network of business products and services. Not only do we have specific impact areas where we can concentrate our efforts, we focus closely on initiatives that support our signature cause program—Feed the Valley—a long-term commitment, to raising food, funds and awareness about the issue of hunger in our communities.
We want to partner with like-minded organizations to create good things in our communities through high impact, socially motivated programming and events.
If your programming supports any of the following impact areas, we want to hear from you:
