Valley Mission

Thanks To All Who Helped Valley Mission "Get Organized"

On January 22^nd and 23^rd, Kathryn McMillan and Teresa Barr of Clutter Conversions, LLC in Staunton led a group of professionals in a volunteer project to re-organize and de-clutter four areas within the shelter. Their project was supported by area businesses, individuals and churches who donated money, materials as well as time.

Having increased our capacity to 85-beds, and now regularly housing over 65 people, more than ever before, it is imperative that we make the best use of all available space to provide for the needs of the people we serve.

Kathryn McMillan and Teresa Barr teamed up with Jim Maust, owner of Venture Builders, Deb Mitchell, owner of the Design Group of Harrisonburg, and Home Depot’s Home Team Pros. This team of professionals oversaw the "GO Project" which utilized the skills of other professionals, volunteers, and shelter residents.

The enthusiasm of all involved made for two days filled with excitement and fellowship in a project that truly benefits Valley Mission. We are so appreciative of the support we receive from the community, and now that Valley Mission is better organized we can more accurately target our donation requests to further improve on the services we provide. For more information about this project contact Kathryn McMillan at (540) 294-1523 or Wendy Shiflett at Valley Mission at (540) 886-4673

The Valley Mission and Clutter Conversions, LLC would like to thank those that helped to make the "GO Project" such a success.
