To bring opportunity to our community through the development and delivery of effective initiatives aimed at building sustainable skills in our youth and

In 1993, a small group of volunteer and career firefighters from the community of Pedley began supporting families with toys and food during the holiday season. Within a few years, firefighters from the communities of Pedley, Glen Avon, Mira Loma, Rubidioux, and West Riverside joined together to support the greater community of Jurupa Valley. As the community grew, so did the need and by 2005 the program began to transition into a community based 501C3 organization. By 2009 the annual holiday adoption program was providing food, household supplies, health and beauty aids, and toys to over 100 families and 150 senior citizens. Partnering with the Cal Fire/County of Riverside Fire Department Spark of Love program, the organization began to lead collaborative efforts to support numerous local non-profits and today provides toys to as many as 7,500 children a year. Over the years the board of directors began recognizing they were supporting different generations of the same family. Knowing that while their annual efforts brought joy to families during the holidays, it didn't truly address the cycle of poverty keeping families dependent on assistance from generation to generation. In 2015, the vision and mission of the organization changed and the program became known as the Jurupa Valley Adopt a Family Program. The new program would include two elements; the annual Santa Express and Adopt a Family program, and the newly commissioned Opportunity Development program.

Another fun filled evening at the Jurupa Valley Food Fest. We loved seeing the children enjoy the kids zone including activities from many community organizations. We enjoyed yummy food from our communities restaurants. We even received a generous toy donation from JUSD board member Pamela Blynn as she won the amazing basket from the live auction. Helping to kick off our holiday giving toy collection!
