Valley Outreach in Stillwater recently underwent a makeover paid for with a grant from Bayport-based Fred C. & Katherine B. Andersen Foundation.
An open house is planned for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the social-service agency and food shelf, located at 1901 Curve Crest Blvd. W., to celebrate the remodel, which includes fresh paint, new awnings, better signage, new lights, modern sliding doors, and more accessible entrances, said Jess Hauser, director of communications for Valley Outreach.
“These improvements to our building’s exterior will make Valley Outreach a safer, more welcoming and accessible place for all who walk through our doors,” Hauser said. “The building is critical to our mission, and we’re committed to being a good caretaker for years to come.”
The amount of the one-time grant was not disclosed, but Hauser said it was designated for the building’s renovation and is separate from the nonprofit organization’s operating budget, meaning it could not be used to buy food or expand programming.
The open house is free and will include food, live music, tours, kids’ activities, raffles, prizes and a sidewalk sale.
