Tri-Valley Inc. is a private, non-profit agency that each year meets needs of more than 4,000 clients, those over 60 and younger, disabled persons in a 25-town area of Southern Worcester County in Central Massachusetts. We pride ourselves on building friendships and relationships along with providing direct support.

As Tri-Valley Inc. celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2006, we settled in to a rehabilitated building in the Stevens Woolen Mill, formerly the carding room, where wool fibers were combed in preparation to be rolled and stretched into batts. It is also a place where some of our older community members earned their livings until the 1970s. More than an office space, the building also is a community Meals on Wheels preparation site that brings in our door each day some of our most precious resources – volunteers.

People in our communities contribute their time and financial donations that extend our
ability to provide for people in ways that funding alone can not. Ninety paid staff members working in concert with almost 1,000 volunteers to assist elders, disabled people and their caregivers in South Central Massachusetts.

While a complete breakdown of our funding sources is available in our annual report,
it is the willingness of individuals to share their time that has helped those receiving of
elder services and our disabled clients to flourish.

More than 93 percent of total revenue goes to the administration of Tri-Valley.

We are one of 27 state-designated Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) working cooperatively with many other agencies. We provide referrals as well as services in person, by telephone and on the web.

Tri-Valley, Inc. is governed by a volunteer board of directors representing our geographical area. More than half of our board members are over age 60.

Tri-Valley Inc. receives funding from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through the Executive Office of Elder Affairs and from the federal government under the Older Americans Act, processed through the Central Mass Agency on Aging. We actively solicit grants from other sources and we welcome your tax-deductible individual, memorial and corporate donations in any amount.
