As we celebrate 25 years of service, Goshen Valley Foundation reflects on a year marked by significant milestones, community impact, and an unwavering commitment to those we serve. From core programs to new initiatives, we have seen growth and success across the board.
A Year of Achievements
This year, Goshen Valley celebrated many milestones that display the dedication of our staff, the trust of the families we serve, and the continued support of our community. We renewed our COA Accreditation, affirming our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care. For the fourth consecutive year, Goshen Valley was recognized as an AJC Top Workplace, highlighting our focus on fostering a positive, supportive work environment.
Our impact on families has been profound: 18 adoptions and 33 reunifications have brought stability and hope to children and families. The foster care program continues to grow, with 10 newly licensed foster homes providing safe, nurturing spaces for children in need. Eleven young adults transitioned successfully to independent living, equipped with the tools and resources to thrive on their own.
Since the launch of the Family Resource Center (FRC), we have made substantial progress toward expanding preventive services and securing sustainable funding to support its ongoing operations. The FRC now offers a broad range of essential services, including mental health counseling, family therapy, parenting education, and addiction recovery resources. The impact of these services is already evident: by August 2024, Goshen Therapeutic Services had delivered 19,726 services to 1,411 individuals, marking a significant increase in our ability to reach and support families. This growth aligns with our broader mission to increase access to vital services, ensuring that more individuals and families receive the support they need to thrive.
These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our staff, the support of our partners, and the trust of the families and individuals we serve. As we reflect on these successes, we are reminded of how far we have come and the lives that have been changed for the better.
Building on 25 Years of Service
Looking ahead, Goshen Valley is inspired by the progress of the past and driven to make an even greater impact in the years to come. We are committed to expanding our reach by extending services to underserved areas, ensuring that more families have access to the resources they need to thrive. Strengthening partnerships with local organizations and stakeholders remains a cornerstone of our strategy, as collaboration fosters a more connected and resilient community.
We are also dedicated to enhancing our existing programs to meet the evolving needs of those we serve. At the same time, we are focused on ensuring the sustainability of our operations, scaling thoughtfully while remaining rooted in our core values. As we chart this path forward, innovation and compassion will continue to guide our efforts to create lasting change.
