Improving Lives Through Community-Driven Initiatives
Our Programs
We’re proud to offer a variety of programs that support and uplift the Del Valle community. Explore each initiative below to find out how we’re making a difference and how you can get involved!
Food Access Programs
​
The Del Valle Community Fridge is a lifeline for residents in an area where affordable, healthy food options are scarce. Designed as a "take what you need, leave what you can" resource, it provides free, fresh, and nutritious food to anyone in need. ​​
​
Community fridges are more than just a place to access food—they are a symbol of care, resilience, and mutual aid. In food deserts like ours, where grocery stores are limited and fresh produce is often inaccessible, these fridges bridge the gap, ensuring that no one goes hungry. Together, we’re building a stronger, healthier community, one meal at a time.​

Fall Turkey Drive​
​
For many families in Del Valle, putting a holiday meal on the table can be a challenge. The Del Valle Turkey Drive ensures that no family goes without a warm, nourishing meal during the holiday season. Through community donations and partnerships, we provide fresh turkeys, pantry staples, and holiday essentials to households facing food insecurity.
​
But this drive is about more than just food—it’s about community, generosity, and ensuring every family can celebrate together. In a region where access to affordable groceries is limited, the Turkey Drive helps bridge the gap, bringing comfort and joy to tables across Del Valle.
​
With your support, we can make the season brighter for our neighbors. Join us in giving back and making sure no one is left out of the holiday celebration!
Homeowner Resilience
Homeowner Resilience Program​
​
Maintaining a safe and stable home can be challenging, especially when access to resources, repairs, and preparedness tools is limited. The Homeowner Resilience Program is designed to support Austin residents in protecting, maintaining, and strengthening their homes against unexpected hardships.
​
This program goes beyond repairs—it’s about education, empowerment, and long-term stability. From weatherproofing and energy efficiency tips to disaster preparedness and financial guidance, we’re equipping homeowners with the knowledge and support they need to build a more secure future for themselves and their families.
​
Together, we’re creating a stronger, more resilient community—one home at a time. Join us in making homeownership safer and more sustainable for all!
Education Opportunities
Scholarships : Empowering Futures
​
At Del Valle Community Coalition, we believe education is the foundation for a brighter future. Our Empowering Futures Scholarship supports local students in achieving their academic goals by providing financial assistance for higher education.
​
In 2024, we proudly awarded $3,500 in scholarships to three Del Valle ISD students, helping them take the next step toward college success. These scholarships ease the financial burden on families and open doors to greater opportunities.
