A Community
in Need
Children of the Valley is sustained purely through the generous donations and sponsorships received from individuals much like yourself. Every penny raised goes directly into the program. Your contribution allows us to continue providing these incredible services to the children most in need from our community at no cost to them.

Annual COV Dinner and Art Auction
Due to the fluid evolution of COVID-19 within our community, and in an effort to conduct ourselves in a manner that supports the mandate for social distancing, we have made the decision to pivot our efforts this year and provide our supporters an alternate way to assist COV’s financial needs.
While we love our traditional fundraiser format, we have come up with a new plan for this year that we think you’ll love just as much! Not only does it support COV’s mission, it directly supports three locally owned and loved Mount Vernon businesses: COA Mexican Eatery, Indulge Bakery, and Tri-Dee Arts.
