Back To School | Tri Valley Haven

Every year, Tri-Valley Haven distributes over 600 backpacks to elementary, middle, and high school students.

Guidelines

Below is a list of suggested items of backpack supplies separated by school level. These items are merely suggestions and are not meant to be restrictive.

Donations of pre-filled backpacks will be accepted at our community building (3663 Pacific Avenue in Livermore) starting June 1st until July 21st. Our community building is open on weekdays from 9 AM – 5 PM.

For questions, please contact our Director of Homeless Services at Carla@trivalleyhaven.org

FAQs

Can I drop off just supplies or just backpacks?
- Yes, but we prefer backpacks with supplies inside ready to go. Please label backpacks by school grade.
Can I volunteer?
- Yes, you can volunteer to assemble backpacks that are not filled or you can volunteer on distribution day. If you are not already a volunteer with us, please fill out the application here.
Do I have to use the list featured below?
- The supply lists are suggestions of what you can fill the backpacks with – not a mandatory rule.
I am part of a group that would like to host donations for this event.
- That’s great! Please reach out to Carla to coordinate further at carla@trivalleyhaven.org
