Tri‑Valley Haven free grocery distribution

Tri-Valley Haven is running its food pantry year-round in Livermore, offering free groceries, fresh produce and essential household items to low-income residents across the Tri-Valley area. The nonprofit says the pantry serves well over 4,000 individuals each month through a “client choice” model that lets guests select foods that fit their household needs. The pantry is located at 150 N L Street in Livermore, according to Tri-Valley Haven’s food pantry page. Friday, May 22, 2026, falls within a regular operating week for the pantry, but Tri-Valley Haven’s current posted distribution schedule shows service on Monday through Saturday rather than a one-off weekend giveaway. The organization lists food distribution hours as 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, and 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Donations are accepted 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. (trivalleyhaven.org) ### Who can get groceries from Tri-Valley Haven?

(trivalleyhaven.org) The Alameda Kids calendar listed “LIVERMORE - TRI VALLEY HAVEN FOOD PANTRY” on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, and Thursday, May 21, 2026, in its May event view when it was last crawled. A separate Alameda Kids event page for April described the pantry entry as free groceries for low-income Tri-Valley residents. The calendar page available in search results did not show a full event detail page for Friday, May 22, 2026, or Saturday, May 23, 2026, in the visible excerpt.
