Shenandoah Valley Adult Teen Challenge

Seriously, how do you ask somebody to borrow a little bit of space for a tractor trailer full of furniture? 🤣

That was the question when we set out to do this. We had no idea where we'd set up for such a large undertaking.

Table 61 was generous enough to open their doors and let us use their space for the first two trucks. We can’t say thank you enough.

But they need their space back on August 5, so we'd been praying about where we would land next.

This week, God opened the door: a big warehouse space in town, loading dock and all, ours for the next 90 days.

When you come shop this week, your purchases help us cover the cost of that new location. And because I like to do things big, we're ordering two more tractor trailer loads to kick off the new space. Now I get to ask that question all over again. 🤣

Come shop with us this weekend:

📍 The Table 61
430 N Mason St, Harrisonburg

🗓 July 16–18 and July 23–25, or until we sell out
Thursday and Friday: 12 to 8
Saturday: 9 to 12

Shop and see the inventory anytime in our Shenandoah Valley Furniture Finds group.

Every dollar from these sales goes toward Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge, helping men rebuild their lives from addiction.

Thank You Staunton and Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸

America turned 250, and our team celebrated on our feet, parking cars in the July heat.

15 hours of hustle for something bigger than all of us. Every car parked helps men in the Valley get their lives back.

Grateful for this community, our volunteers, and another great year. 🎆

Here’s what God’s been doing at SVTC in Q2. ⬇️🙌🏻

Got a shipping container collecting dust? 👀

Stay with me. A few weeks ago we tried something. One truckload of furniture, sold to fund the ministry. I wasn't sure it would work. It did. That one load put thousands toward this recovery work and got good furniture into people's homes for cheap.

We learned a lot, and we're ready to do it again, better. There's just one thing in the way: storage.

To do the next load right, we need our own space to stage it and sell it at a fair pace instead of rushing it out in a weekend. A shipping container does exactly that.

A solid used one runs $2,550. Would you help us get there? Give at Venmo or Cash App $svtcva.

And if you actually have a container sitting unused, or know someone who does, donating it covers this whole thing in one shot. Please reach out.

This isn't just a donation, it's an investment. Every dollar of furniture we sell goes right back into helping men get their lives back, and a container is what turns this from a one-time sale into something we can keep doing. Whatever you can do, thank you. 🙏

Attention Staunton friends! 🇺🇸

Shenandoah Valley Adult & Teen Challenge is running all-day parking at Gypsy Hill Place for Happy Birthday America this July 4th.

$10 per car. Park early, stay all day, walk to everything.

One thing to know: no in-and-out. The $10 covers your spot as long as the car stays put. Once you pull out, that spot opens up for the next person. So plan to leave it parked until you’re done for the day.

Spots are limited and they go fast. Come early.

Every $10 goes right back into helping people in the Valley get their lives back together. Thanks for parking with us. 🅿️

You did the hardest thing already. You got clean. Now there's a pile of debt, a wrecked credit score, and a stack of bills.

I sat down with my friend Jacob Dobscha, a business insurance agent with LD&B Insurance in Harrisonburg, Virginia, to map out exactly how you dig out. Not theory.

A real plan you can start immediately.

When we redid the website early this year, traffic was dead.

So we made a decision. The site needed to be more than a billboard.

It’s mobile first now. We took every podcast episode and built real pathways. Someone struggling. A family that doesn’t know what to do. A person who just needs scripture at 1am because it feels heavy tonight.

Clear next steps. Real help. Even directories to other programs, because sometimes the next right step isn’t SVTC. And that’s okay.

The goal was simple. Meet people where they are. You walk away encouraged whether or not you ever walk through our doors.

Last month roughly 4,000 people landed on the site. That number has grown every single month since the redesign.

Most of them we’ll never meet.
