San Ramon Valley Village
San Ramon Valley Village is a volunteer driven non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Founded by local residents, the San Ramon Valley Village provides a way for older residents who want to remain in their own homes to request help, and for background checked and trained volunteers to lend a hand. It’s really about neighbors helping neighbors.
Mission Statement
We enable adults aged fifty five and older to age with dignity, remain safely at home, and stay meaningfully connected to their community by offering compassionate non-medical care and fostering a strong sense of belonging.
We Are A Volunteer Driven Non-Profit
San Ramon Valley Village is an affiliate of the Diablo Valley Villages, a nonprofit network of local Villages dedicated to helping older adults live independently, safely, and make meaningful connections in the communities they love. San Ramon Valley Village serves the communities of Danville, San Ramon, Black Hawk and Alamo. Our valuable services are provided by background-screened & trained volunteers from the local community and supplement services provided by our local city and county government agencies.
