Because He Cares, Our Valley Cares.

Our Valley Cares began with a simple belief: because He cares, we care. What started as a vision within Fresno Mission has become a Valley-wide movement of churches, nonprofits, and neighbors working together to care for youth in crisis—building the best systems and the best spaces so no child faces crisis alone.

The Problem:

A New System Is Needed

Young people in crisis are left to navigate a maze— homeless minors, trafficked teens, aging-out foster youths, kids on the brink.

The response is reactive. Fragmented. Short-term. They retell their story. They hit waitlists. They fall through gaps.

Most cities can’t connect what they already have into something that truly transforms lives.

Our Valley Is Changing That.
