A Letter to our Friends

Dear Friends,

Tri-Valley Haven continues to support our community with an umbrella of services including shelter, food, counseling and legal services for individuals and families in need. Our efforts are enduring towards a mission of “Building Homes Free of Violence”. One of Tri-Valley Haven’s most important service is our emergency shelter for families fleeing abuse in their homes.

Tri-Valley Haven currently runs the only confidential domestic violence shelter in the Tri-Valley and the only shelter that accepts teenage boys as part of families. Unfortunately, after so many years of successfully housing families, the domestic violence safety shelter, aptly named “Shiloh” for peace, is in decline. The best and most economical way for Tri-Valley Haven to serve local families, and to meet the growing need for emergency shelter, is to build a new facility with 50% more capacity (we will have 45 beds instead of the current 30). The new shelter will also have designated counseling rooms, recreational rooms, a garden where residents can relax, and safe outdoor and indoor play areas for kids. (At any given time, half of our shelter residents are children).

Please consider donating to this important community project. We plan to break ground in 2023. You can contribute conveniently online at https://trivalleyhaven.org/donate, please select “Shelter Rebuild Campaign”, or use the enclosed envelope to mail in your tax-deductible check payable to Tri-Valley Haven.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if you would like to make an appointment to speak with me in-person about this vital project. I can be reached via email christine@trivalleyhaven.org or directly at (925) 667-2707.

Thank you for your impactful gift!

Sincerely,

Christine Dillman

Executive Director
