For more than four decades, Tri-Valley Haven has been a resource to the region for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness and poverty.
Offering a shelter for domestic violence and unhoused individuals, transitional housing, a rape crisis center, individual counseling and group therapy, legal assistance, life skill education and so much more, Tri-Valley Haven has been a consistent protector and healer of the community.
For these reasons and others, Tri-Valley Haven was named Nonprofit of the Year by State Sen. Steve Glazer (D-Orinda) for his district.
“Tri-Valley Haven is a vital lifeline to our community and those affected by violence and homelessness,” Glazer said in a press release announcing the award. “The dedicated staff and volunteers at Tri-Valley Haven have helped thousands of families in need and continue to treat each individual who comes through their doors with the utmost dignity and grace. I am pleased to uplift their important work by selecting them as the Nonprofit of the Year for my senate District,” he added.
As part of the recognition, Tri-Valley Haven was invited by Glazer to a luncheon in Sacramento for the official award ceremony. He will also visit Tri-Valley Haven this fall for a local event to highlight all that the nonprofit does, Tri-Valley Haven Executive Director Christine Dillman told Embarcadero Media.
“Tri-Valley Haven is thrilled to be selected as Nonprofit of the Year by California Senator Steve Glazer,” Dillman said in a statement. “We appreciate the Senator supporting vital, safety net services for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and poverty.”
Noting that they were unexpectedly selected for the award, Dillman expressed gratitude on behalf of the nonprofit.
“Senator Glazer recognized the importance of serving victims of interpersonal violence in a trauma informed manner, so he chose Tri-Valley Haven,” she told Embarcadero Media. “We cannot make the impact we do without the support of our community and elected officials like Senator Glazer.”
