Data Isn’t Boring… We Promise.
(Especially when it tells us what our community needs most.)

According to the 2025 Valley Community Index, the number of Valley children (ages 0–17) served by local food pantries increased by 51.7% from 2023 to 2024.

That is not a small shift — it’s a signal.

This kind of data helps us understand where needs are growing and how quickly families are feeling financial strain. It’s why Valley Council uses the Index to guide priorities, strengthen partnerships, and connect agencies so resources move where they’re needed most.

When we understand the data, we can respond with intention — and with impact.
Take a look at this thoughtfully written and beautifully visualized section of the Index.
