Tri Valley Food Drive - July 18 - 31st

Help FEED TRI VALLEY by contributing canned and dry foods that will go directly to local food providers during the Tri Valley Food Drive.

Local food providers and the Cities of Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore have joined together to address hunger and food insecurity.  The group named "Feed Tri-Valley" plans to hold a Food Drive to gather provisions to help feed our community.  From July 18-31st collection barrels will be at local businesses throughout the community with labels identifying them as part of Feed Tri Valley.

Tri-Valley residents are encouraged to think locally and give locally so that their contributions stay in the Tri-Valley to help our friends and neighbors.  Thousands of people are assisted by food programs each year.  Though most people think of the homeless and hungry during the cold winter months, food providers consistently struggle to maintain adequate food supplementation during the summer.

Tri-Valley residents can help by contributing unexpired canned and dry foods to local grocery stores and businesses throughout the Tri-Valley.  Drop off locations can be found at www.ptownlife.org/feedtrivalley  Think locally and give locally.
