Valley Cities Behavioral Health Care is hosting a winter donation drive across King County, with drop boxes for toys, coats, clothing, and toiletries set up at various clinics and partner sites. These donations not only meet immediate needs but also provide a message of support to clients facing difficult times. Items such as winter coats and toiletries can significantly aid individuals trying to access services or find stability. This year’s drive coincides with Valley Cities’ 60th anniversary of providing essential mental health and substance use disorder treatment, a milestone celebrated by staff and community members. Payton Standfill, a marketing specialist at Valley Cities, emphasized the importance of community support and donor generosity in sustaining their services. In addition to physical donations, financial contributions are encouraged to support counseling, recovery, housing, and education programs. For those in need of assistance, Valley Cities offers resources and a crisis line, ensuring that individuals dealing with mental health challenges or addiction receive the help they need.
