M PACT STORIES ,taa
HEALTH • HOME • HEART
West Valley Community Services
Patty and Mel are a married senior couple that resides at a senior housing. They live on a fixed income and are regular shoppers at
the Park-It Market. While his wife was shopping, Mel expressed how thankful he and his wife are and how much of an impact our
Park-It Market has had on their limited budget. Mel reflected on how expensive it is to live in the Bay Area and how much he
enjoys our weekly visits to Fellowship Plaza,where he can see his numerous neighbors and the community. Mel and Patty have
recognized the community and more positive environment our Park-It Market team and program have been bringing to Fellowship
Plaza.
Ray regularly visits the Park-It Market .Early in 2023, Ray suffered an ankle injury, which limited his mobility and use of his bicycle.
Ray donated his bicycle to a neighbor because he had difficulty carrying it upstairs as he typically did. Ray began riding public
transit (VTA) to our Park-It Market and had difficulty carrying his groceries. As he was recuperating, he was encouraged to consider
getting another bike but did not have the resources to do so. As he continued gaining strength in his leg, our Park-It Market team
encouraged him to consider obtaining a new bike, providing potential resources in the community. Ray has recently gone to Good
Karma Bikes with a WVCS referral, where he was able to select his own brand new bicycle.
"West valley community services as a whole have made a huge impact on our lives that words cannot even describe. I will forever be
grateful and send people their way as they are all not only helpful but genuinely kind and care for others well being. Thank you so
much for all you do"
( WVCS Client)
