Volunteers erect our Signs and Mailbox





We were almost ready to get our final inspection to receive our conditional use permit from the City of Lompoc but we had one more item to take care of.  We needed to "post" our handicap parking signs.  Many thanks to Matt Moore and Kevin for digging the holes and pouring the concrete to erect the posts.  And another thank you to Jim Bass and Rich Theis for digging and pouring the concrete to reinstall our mailbox which was removed to make room for the new driveway. As you can see from the photo the makeshift post was not working too well.   Mom always said "many hands make light work".  We couldn't agree more.

Victory Outreach Came for a Paint Party

Part of the purchase of the Valley Haven house included a small rental unit.  The rental unit was vacated on November 15th.  Much work was needed to spruce up the interior which require a contractor. However  the exterior just need a good paint job.  Victory Outreach to the rescue.  Much scraping, priming and painting was necessary to get the house in good shape.  It was with the help of these wonderful volunteers that the exterior of the "little house" was transformed from an ugly duckling to a swan. Thanks again Victory Outreach you are a real asset to our Lompoc community.

Our First Open House

While we are waiting on the finalization of our conditional use permit we thought it was a good time to hold an open house to show the community our new facility and thank those who made it possible.  Below are some photos of our event.


Valley Haven has an ongoing capital campaign to raise $100,000 to pay for the improvements and conversion of the Valley Haven house from residential to an Adult Day Program facility.  You can help us reach our goal by making a donation via the website. Thank you.

Home Depot Donates Paint

Many thanks go out to the Home Depot for their donation of paint to paint our "Little House".  Our rental unit was in dire need of a paint job.  A donation request was granted by The Home Depot to purchase five gallons of paint.  It is with community support such as this that makes Valley Haven possible.
