We provide vision screening in several of our local preschools for 4 and 5 year olds. Our purpose is to detect amblyopia early which can then be treated by their doctor. This disorder decreases vision in an eye that otherwise typically appears normal.
We provide gifts and party supplies for Tri-Valley Haven children to celebrate their special day while they are residents of the shelter. With a “Party in a Bag,” we put a smile on the birthday child’s face.
We provide books and educational activities for local foster children. We also provide essential filled backpacks to graduating high school seniors.
Our members organize and lead social activities for seniors at the Pleasanton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center or manage the magazine library at the Pleasanton Senior Center. In addition, we participate in Book Buddies, where members and seniors are paired up with second graders from local elementary schools for reading sessions.
Elementary students in need, TK through 5th grade, are brought to our local Kohl’s store to “shop” for brand new clothing and shoes. They all leave with a huge bag of new clothes, wide grins and a renewed sense of confidence.
We partner with Tri-Valley classroom teachers and we purchase a book title to be studied in class. Afterwards, the book is given to each child to keep, becoming a “book of my own.”
We partner with the Tri-Valley Haven Food Pantry in Livermore to shop and provide nutritious groceries to over 4,000 residents each month.
To help the next generation continue their higher education, we award two scholarships totaling $3,500 to high school seniors heading to a four year college/university or an accredited community college or a certified technical/trade school to help pay for tuition, books and supplies.
