Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley – Assistance
Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley (SSPTV) is an independent, non-profit agency serving seniors over age 60 in the cities of Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, and Sunol. SSPTV was established in 1981 with a Friendly Visitor volunteer program serving 35 seniors. It has since grown to include programs which annually serve approximately 1,600 seniors in the Tri-Valley area, as well as about 5,000 information and referral calls and visits. A core of about 100 volunteers provide over 4,000 visits and 5,000 phone visits a year to seniors, as well. We pride ourselves in listening to the needs of our area’s senior citizens and their families to create programs to fit those needs.
