The annual awards will serve over 1,000 children and their families for the next five years. “The Notices of Award were received in early July of 2013. This has been a long time in coming,” notes Dennis P. DeMers, CEO of Tri-Valley.
“With these five year grant notifications our Head Start and Early Head Start programs can be forward focused,” shares DeMers. “Our clients and our communities deserve nothing less than to be looking to the future, and this award allows for that,” he adds.
