Street Life Ministries, a Christian nonprofit that provides resources to people experiencing homelessness in the Midpeninsula, has come under scrutiny after a video of its security guard harassing a homeless man surfaced online.
The incident was filmed by Tim Moon, a former employee of Street Life Ministries, who posted the video on social media earlier this month. It shows Kevin Valley, the security and facilities manager of Street Life, verbally threatening and physically pushing his body into a homeless man at one of Street Life’s Menlo Park “meal and fellowship” events last year. Moon alleges that Street Life Ministries threatened to terminate his contract if he posted the video. He decided to release it nearly one year later, on June 2, after his contract was terminated for reasons unrelated to the incident.
