Tri-Valley Haven Holiday Program

This year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for Tri-Valley Haven's Holiday Program will be bigger than ever. Tri-Valley Haven has transformed the program so that we can safely provide holiday items and food to the thousands of individuals in economic need who rely on us. To securely serve the over 3,400 Tri-Valley individuals, we will be providing households with pre-bagged food and a holiday gift card while utilizing social distancing and CDC disease prevention guidelines.

In order to make this year's holiday program a success, we are seeking community donations. Cash is the most helpful as it allows us to focus on the program's biggest needs. Tri-Valley Haven is also asking for $20 Target, $20 Walmart and $20 Kohl's gift cards so families can purchase holiday items and $20 Safeway gift cards so families can buy a turkey or meat.

With your help, local families, children, teens, women, men and seniors in great economic need will be served this year. Your donation will help make the holidays bright for these individuals. Thank you for your generous help!

Please drop off or mail donations to Tri-Valley Haven, 3663 Pacific Avenue, Livermore, CA 94550 (Attention: Holiday Program). Tri-Valley Haven is open Monday - Friday 9 am - 5 pm. Please contact Christine@trivalleyhaven.org if you have questions. We look forward to working with you on this year's holiday project!

For a World Without Violence, Black Lives Must Matter To Everyone

At Tri-Valley Haven our tagline for years has been, "Together we build a world without violence." How can we reach a world without violence when we look at what is happening today? We have to keep the faith in possible change and in our ability to make it happen. It will take ALL of us.

We must call upon our most courageous selves to stand up for what is right. We believe that shared equity for all is the path to peace. Without oppression, no one person or group of people would be regarded as "less" than another. In sexual assault and family violence services we know we must sometimes be the voice for survivors who are unable to speak out. Their risks may be lethal.

George Floyd had his voice silenced and our collective hearts break. At the same time, we are filled with rage and frustration. We weep and scream "Black Lives Matter!"

What can we do? Not everyone can protest. We are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. All of us can VOTE. We can write letters. We can speak up. Some of us can contribute to organizations that reflect our values. Support Black Lives Matter. Educate ourselves. DO something. Let's all do what we can every day. Be mindful of the fact that we have power in this situation; we have a voice. Some of us enjoy privilege. Let's use it thoughtfully to be allies of and instruments for change.

The more we commit to learn about and respect each other, the closer we get to a world without violence...or better yet, the closer we get to the Beloved Community that Dr. King spoke about so eloquently.

Sincerely,

Ann King, Executive Director & Tri-Valley Haven Community

REMINDER: HAVEN FOOD PANTRY OPEN DURING SHELTER-IN-PLACE
