What is Love Snoqualmie Valley?
Love Snoqualmie Valley (LSV) is a community-driven local non-profit dedicated to fostering connection, service, and collaboration in our beautiful Snoqualmie Valley. Our mission is simple yet profound: to unify the Snoqualmie Valley by serving side by side with our neighbors: bridging the gap between non-profits, government, faith organizations, schools, and the public through volunteer opportunities. By working together, we amplify the efforts of our community's non-profits and organizations, creating a ripple effect of impact that touches lives in meaningful ways. We don’t seek to reinvent the wheel. Instead, we come alongside existing organizations, supporting their missions by mobilizing volunteers and raising awareness and ensuring these organizations have the resources and people power they need to thrive and do what they do best.
Our Initiatives:
A single day of service across the entire valley with immense impact. Whether you are crafty, want to get your hands dirty, or simply want to encourage, there is something for everybody!

Volunteer
Every November we raise money to give back to non-profits in the form of Gift Cards that go directly into the hands of those who need it most
By including City volunteer opportunities we encourage volunteers to serve their local communities, building stronger connections between residents and their towns.
The challenges identified were:
Competition: The competitive nature nonprofits and service groups were forced into as a result of limited resources in the Valley.
Silos: a large gap between different sectors in The Valley
Disunity: a large geographical range making it difficult to identify as one community working together
The leadership team decided to become members of Love Our Cities and began implementing their systems and heartbeat. On October 5th, 2019 the first Love Snoqualmie Valley Volunteer Day was born with over 30 volunteer projects across the Snoqualmie Valley and 500 volunteers. All sectors of the Valley were brought together, as service areas were identified to build unity and organizations began to enter into collaboration in order to maximize resources.
The work is continuing to expand as unity across The Snoqualmie Valley grows! Everything we do is for the purpose of offering opportunities to love one another in practical ways as we strive to love as Jesus loves.
We are motivated to love others as Jesus would love others and strive to live out His example.
We don't think you can do life alone. We believe in collaboration between every sector; government, faith, schools, businesses and non-profits.
We value community as we come together to serve as one.
We value honesty, integrity and doing what is right even when it's not comfortable.
We value, respect, and understand that equity is not equality. We see equity as meeting people where they are in life and understanding that that starting point will be different for everyone.
We wouldn't exist if it wasn't for getting our hands and feet out there practically loving on our communities
