VALLEY CHURCHES UNITED KICKS OFF
2023 BUCKS FOR HUNGER DRIVE

Valley Churches United is kicking off our 33rd annual spring Bucks For Hunger fundraising drive with a mailing that community residents have received recently. We are looking forward to the community support that helps fill the pantry shelves and provides assistance to local qualified residents in need.

“The wonderful generosity of our local community will help us keep the food pantry and other client programs going strong, especially during these challenging times”, said Executive Director Lynn Robinson. “As we know, hunger never takes a holiday, and we don’t receive government funding. This fundraising drive is an extremely important opportunity for our amazing community to step up and give what they can. We are seeing many new clients who never thought they would be in a position to ask for help and we can help lift them back up with the help of this financial support.”

Tax deductible donations may be sent to the Valley Churches United, PO Box 367, Ben Lomond, CA 95005, online at vcum.org, or donate in person at 9400 Highway 9, Ben Lomond, Monday through Friday from 9am until 4pm.
