Fresno Mission is the anchor of the movement whose mission is to rescue, restore, and empower individuals through Christ-centered communities throughout its programs and ministries. They offer meals, shelter, counseling, crisis housing, spiritual support, job training, and community care to men, women, youth, and families. Their work is not just relief—it’s life transformation, rooted in dignity, time, relationship, and faith.
By virtue of its reach, legacy, and capacity, Fresno Mission is both a backbone and a beacon in Our Valley Cares—rooting the collaborative model in trusted service while enabling expansion and innovation across systems and places of care.
Within Our Valley Cares, Fresno Mission serves as a primary hub where youth and community members can access essential services—emergency shelter, meals, spiritual care, case management, and recovery programs—that are foundational to stability.
Because Fresno Mission already operates multiple service points and has infrastructure in place, they are a key co-location partner. Their existing campuses become important locations where partner agencies can bring complementary services under one roof, reducing duplication and decreasing the barriers youth face in navigating systems.
As a trusted faith-based organization, Fresno Mission bridges church networks, nonprofits, government, and community leaders. Their reputation and relational presence help convene partners, catalyze resources, and drive alignment around shared strategies for youth in crisis.
Fresno Mission brings years of experience in program operation, volunteer coordination, and social enterprise. In the OVC network, they contribute best practices for efficiency, accountability, and sustainable impact—helping raise standards for how we all run it wisely.
When you partner with Fresno Mission through Our Valley Cares, you’re doing more than giving to one nonprofit—you’re investing in a movement that unifies, coordinates, and scales transformation for youth in crisis.
