Tri-Valley Haven's Backpack Event Serves 445 Tri-Valley Kids

From Tri Valley Haven: Tri-Valley Haven held their fifteenth annual Backpack Event on August 7th for area students returning to school. 445 Children from 147 families in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton chose backpacks prepared with grade-specific supplies. “Tri-Valley Haven reaches out to many families experiencing hardship,” said Ralph Johnson, Director of Homeless and Family Services. The Haven would like to thank all of the corporations and community organizations that supported this event with donations of backpacks and supplies. Additional thanks go to the 35 volunteers whose many helpers stuffed and organized the packs by grade, including those from National Charity League-Pleasanton and Vista Oaks chapters, the Young Men’s Service League, and Boy Scout Troop #941 both of Pleasanton. The Tri-Valley Haven backpack event is held every August; visit the website at www.trivalleyhaven.org.
