Food Safety

Safe and secure sourcing is our goal. 

For more than 100 years, Valley has been dedicated to supplying the finest products to our customers.  We recognize that Valley feeds families who deserve the highest level of trust, placing food safety at the core of everything we do. We recognize that Valley is only as successful as our customer’s experience, which is why we prioritize safe, reliable distribution.

Community Outreach

Valley’s perspective on “being in business” goes beyond the simple focus of being a profitable distributor and extends into the role of being a responsible and respected corporate citizen. To achieve this end, Valley strives to act as a constructive community member by helping those who are less fortunate.

Valley’s team members demonstrate a shared commitment to supporting our community through high engagement with the following service programs.

  • Annual Blood drive with City of Hope
  • Christmas toy drive with Toys for Tots
  • Walk for Hope with City of Hope
  • Thanksgiving food drive with Food Forward
