"I am a single mom with a beautiful little four-and-a-half-year-old girl. We have been on our own for two and a half years now and my proudest moment as a single mom was giving my daughter her very first home with a room that was all hers and a back yard to run around in. Our home is our little sanctuary, it was perfect for us from the start...

Background Statement
Vicki McGee
Founder/Executive Director
HOPE OF THE GRAND VALLEY
Fruita, Colorado
Serving Grand Junction and surrounding communities.
Mission:
To provide support and a hand up to hard-working parents and their children who are not receiving welfare, or housing assistance. This is a group that tends to fall through the cracks. These are people trying to break the cycle of poverty and doing their best to get ahead. It's a situation that creates an uncertain future for both parents and their children.
HOPE of the Grand Valley is a local Mesa County nonprofit that was founded in 2008. Our mission is to provide support and a hand up to hard-working parents that still find it hard to make ends meet at times. "This is a group that tends to fall through the cracks," states Founder and Executive Director, Vicki McGee. "That's why we provide a hand up, not a hand out to these local families."
Hope of the Grand Valley provides a hand up, not a hand out; by fostering and encouraging independence for hardworking, low-income families.
HOPE of the Grand Valley was founded in the Grand Valley to fill in a very specific gap in our community.
We are fortunate to serve ever-increasing numbers of hard-working, low-income families. This segment of the population is growing, yet typically over looked and often struggling. Children with parents that are making a little too much money to qualify for government assistance. We are here to give a hand up to parents who are working tirelessly, paying their bills, and doing everything in their power to provide their children with food, clothing, and shelter without public assistance.
Our families are given the opportunity to take advantage of the many services and programs we have available. We have families that have been able to purchase their first home, and many more are close to reaching that goal as well! HOPE of the Grand Valley is here for families as they walk through life. We have found that providing guidance creates a clearer path to a more prosperous and successful future, and in turn, allows HOPE of the Grand Valley to continue our journey of helping those who just need a hand up.
