Thank You to All for a Successful Winter Coat Drive |
Volunteers ready to distribute coats! |
For more than six weeks, Visit Tri-Valley spearheaded a COAT DRIVE with CityServe Tri-Valley during some of the coldest and wettest days of the winter season. Many thanks to all of you who donated! We collected dozens and dozens of new and used coats, which are being lovingly distributed to those in need. An extra shout-out to CityServe for all they do to keep individuals and families off the streets and to our coat collection centers: Four Points Sheraton Pleasanton, San Francisco Premium Outlets, and the Courtyard by Marriott Livermore. Donations and volunteers are always welcome at CityServe Tri-Valley at several convenient locations. We just started our new tradition of giving at VTV. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
