At Valerie’s House Pensacola, we are deeply touched by the support and love shown to us by the East Hill Neighborhood Association. Their recent spotlight on our Pensacola home has truly highlighted the heart of our mission—offering healing and hope to grieving children and families. We are incredibly thankful for this recognition and for the opportunity to be part of such a warm, welcoming community.

At Valerie’s House Pensacola, our mission to provide a safe space for grieving children and families just took a monumental step forward. Thanks to the incredible efforts of the Leadership Pensacola (LeaP) Class of 2024, we are thrilled to share the story of how our outdoor spaces have been transformed into a sanctuary of healing, connection, and comfort for those we serve.

Valerie's House, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting grieving children and families, celebrates a significant achievement in its Pensacola chapter. Crista Brandt, the Northwest Florida Director of Valerie's House, was recognized as the Advocate of the Year during the 64th Annual Pensacola Area Commitment to Excellence (PACE) Awards. Held on March 18 at the Pensacola Beach Hilton, the event was hosted by the Greater Pensacola Chamber and brought together 350 community leaders to honor local business and community champions.
