How You Can Help
Your Help Makes A Difference
Because Entiat Valley is a charitable service organization, we provide our services through all volunteers (no-paid staff), free, we receive no federal, state, or local government funding for our programs. We invite you to join our organization by donating time, money, food or non-food items.
By volunteering or donating you help thousands of people in need by providing hope and a better life. Contact Us for more information on how you can help individuals and families in need. Find Out More.
Hold a Food Drive
Food drives and fundraisers are key to our success. Anyone who has been a part of the community for any time at all is familiar with major EVCSFB events and our food drives. Each year the Entiat School Leadership Class, Boy Scouts', Entiat Food Center and Entiat Ranger District/Forest Service conduct food drives in the fall.
While these big events get a lot of much-deserved attention, we never want to give the impression that these food drives have no impact. In fact, they do, and - in some ways - they can reach people in ways some of our bigger campaigns never will.
Food and non-food drives are needed all year long. EVCSFB has the staff and materials necessary to make your Drive work perfectly. If
you would like more information Please Click Here.
