Valencia Bailey
Program Director, Good Samaritan, Inc.
Valencia B. Bailey is a proud native of Chatham, Virginia, and the youngest of three daughters born to the late Alfonso “Big Al” and Ozella Bennett. She carries forward their legacy of generosity and community care with grace and purpose.
Valencia dedicated 28 years to GEICO, serving in multiple departments before retiring. In 2014, she and her husband, Pastor Tommie L. Bailey, founded Good Samaritan Inc., a nonprofit providing food and clothing to individuals and families across Orange, Virginia and surrounding counties.
As Program Director, Valencia dedicates a significant portion of her time to ensuring that no child goes hungry or cold. The shelves at Good Samaritan are always stocked with items that children can prepare themselves, a reflection of her compassion and foresight. In tribute to her parents, the organization’s food pantry is named Big Al’s Pantry and the clothing closet Ozella’s Closet, preserving their legacy of love and service.
Currently, she and her team are working to establish a transitional home for women and their children, expanding their outreach and impact. Valencia believes that when the community flourishes, everyone grows together. Her dedication has been widely recognized: she was named Woman of the Month by the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, and in 2025, Good Samaritan Inc. received the prestigious Susie Miller Community Service Award for outstanding service.
Happily married to Tommie, together they share a beautiful family: their daughter Alencia, a special niece Eboni, three God-daughters—Renee, Paris, and Tanya—and one Godson, Mac. When she’s not serving others, Valencia enjoys traveling and fishing, embracing life
with joy, faith, and purpose.
