Support Vali for Rotary's "Feeding the Future"!

Hi, I’m Vali DeVries. I’ve called Long Beach home for most of my life. I grew up on Catalina Island, where community spirit is just a way of life. That stuck with me. After graduating from CSULB with a degree in journalism (and a few years as a diver on the team), I found my way into insurance. It turns out this career is the perfect blend of my love for service, problem-solving, and building real relationships.

Since joining the Rotary Club of Long Beach in 2012, I’ve had the privilege of rolling up my sleeves alongside other leaders who care deeply about this city. Whether it’s supporting literacy programs, mentoring young professionals, or helping with community service projects, Rotary gives me the chance to give back in ways that make a real difference.

Working with local students is special, and is why I am fundraising for Rotary's Feeding the Future campaign through Long Beach Gives. This program assists financially struggling students at Long Beach City College and CSU Long Beach who are food insecure. Both colleges have pantries where those students can obtain food and personal hygiene items for free.

Hungry students find it difficult to focus on their studies!

Please help me invest in the next generation of our leaders. Together, we can empower our Long Beach college students!  

Your donation of $10 ore more today through my page will directly support this project and create meaningful impact right here in Long Beach. 

Thank you for giving generously!
