Valleyhaven Furniture Bank Hosts Kickoff Fundraiser on October 5th

Valleyhaven Furniture Bank is thrilled to announce its official kickoff fundraising event, set to take place on Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM at Horton’s Nursery in Winchester, Virginia. The event is free and open to the public, and all community members who wish to support this vital new organization are invited.

Since June 2023, Valleyhaven Furniture Bank has been quietly impacting the Northern Shenandoah Valley by providing essential furniture and household items to families and individuals in need. The bank serves those transitioning out of homelessness, domestic violence, or other hardships, helping them turn houses into homes and rebuild their lives with dignity. As demand grows, Valleyhaven is seeking support to expand its services and help even more families.

The evening will be a celebration of community spirit and resilience. Guests will enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and live music and have the opportunity to hear firsthand the inspiring stories of the families that Valleyhaven has supported. There will also be a chance to connect with others passionate about making a difference, learn more about the organization’s mission, and explore opportunities to get involved, including sponsorship levels available for all budgets.

The fundraiser aims to boost Valleyhaven’s capacity to meet the community’s growing needs. Funds raised will help expand storage space, hire staff, and increase the organization’s ability to reach more families in crisis. Carolyn Thalman, Board Chair of Valleyhaven, said, “Our mission is simple: to furnish homes for people overcoming adversity. But this isn’t just about providing furniture; it’s about restoring hope, offering comfort, and creating a haven for those who need it most.”

Valleyhaven invites attendees to RSVP by October 1st by scanning the QR code on the event flyer or visiting their website at valleyhavenfurniturebank.org. Even if you can’t attend, donations are welcome through the website. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps Valleyhaven grow and continue serving those in need.

The evening promises to be more than just a fundraiser; it will be a chance for the community to come together and play a part in building a brighter future for neighbors facing tough times. With your help, Valleyhaven Furniture Bank can expand its services and continue to provide stability and hope to individuals and families across the region.
