Hacienda Helping Hands
Hacienda Helping Hands would like to extend this invitation to you to join us by participating in our community support campaign. For over a decade, the Hacienda Helping Hands campaign has been active in the Tri-Valley community in a variety of ways to help preserve and enhance the quality of life enjoyed in this unique area. Please join Hacienda's owners, investors, businesses and other affiliates in our efforts to address critical needs in the Tri-Valley.
Campaign Initiatives
Annually, Hacienda receives many requests for support so Hacienda Helping Hands was created as a means of providing a meaningful way of responding to a variety of needs found in the area. The Hacienda Helping Hands campaign consists of a number of initiatives and strives to engage with the region at a number of levels:
- Hacienda Helping Hands fundraising and granting have provided over $200,000 in direct financial contributions to over thirty deserving organizations.
- Hacienda Helping Hands networking functions allow participants to collaborate directly with local elected officials and civic leaders to further community goals.
- In partnership with Kaiser Permanente, the East Bay Community Foundation and the East Bay Leadership Council, Hacienda Helping Hands supports the Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative in an effort designed to bring attention to poverty in the region and to help craft a long-term anti-poverty strategy.
- Hacienda Helping Hands participates in a two decades-old tradition of assisting the Alameda County Community Food Bank with its annual holiday food drive.
- Participation in the Pillars of the Tri-Valley has established a means to help strengthen ties between businesses and community organizations.
- Special initiatives provide help and support when it is most needed.
