If you are a home owner in the Bay Area, you probably have a fruit tree, or two, on your property…read more And if you take care of these trees, they bestow you with an abundance of fruit - lemons, oranges, tangerines, mandarins, grapefruit, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, figs, pomegranates - more than you can possible eat, make into pies, jams, or pickles, or give away to neighbors, family or friends. Often, no one wants your excess fruit, because they have plenty of their own, thank you! And then you're in a jam, or pickle (both puns intended) because the tree rats (aka squirrels) start attacking your fruit, or it rots on your tree or in your yard. But not in our home! Because we pick ALL our fruit, and donate the excess to TriValley Haven Food Pantry in Livermore! We walk in (they are currently at 150 North L Street), no appointment needed, and drop off the fruit, which gets donated to families in need. They'll even give you a donation receipt, handy for your tax return. You're welcome!

This program and organization is unlike any other I've seen or heard of. While being very structured in many ways such as lack of outside communication for most of 11 months, this allows the individual to step out from under the burden upon them, long enough to make the personal changes needed. The facilities are excellent, and the needs of the participants are well met. Religion may not be your thing, but if accepting God into your life helps reduce the anxiety, or other inhibiting factors, why not? If participants learn to think about their actions prior to acting, they learn to avoid problems, and get help when they recognize it on the horizon. Those are much needed skills today. The support shepherds gate receives from all the churches in the tri-valley area is nothing short of amazing! It is evident by the volunteer support the organization receives. This program has attendees learning coping skills necessary to live functionally in today's world. They help them develop computer skills. They help them interview for and get employment. They have access to every resource from sponsors to doctors and therapists. Attendees of the program seem very positive. Some refuse to play by the rules and are removed from the program. In the end this is a free 11 month program. Not because insurance is covering it, they don't charge. Yes that's written correctly. This is a program that gives the time needed to move to a new lifestyle, and have stabilization. I can't imagine what this would cost otherwise. When it seems like everyone's got an angle to rob you blind, here is the purest form of love and support. I had my reservations given its structure. But the feedback is outstanding.

The teachers are absolutely special, they are kind, nurturing, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child. It's such a comforting feeling to drop her off each day knowing she's in the best hands. We also really love RCD's play-based learning approach. It's been amazing to watch our daughter grow and she's made huge leaps academically and developmentally. She absolutely adores going to "school" and we can already see how it's laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. The facility is great, not brand new but very safe and setup great for the kids. The community is warm and welcoming, and on top of all that RCD is actually affordable for the quality of care and education they provide compared to other options in the area, it honestly checks every box. We're beyond grateful to be part of the RCD family. Thank you to all the amazing teachers and staff for creating such a wonderful, nurturing space for our daughter to learn, play, and thrive. The peace of mind makes leaving her in the mornings just a teensy bit easier :)

The staff are incredibly compassionate, the facilities are always clean and safe, and the curriculum is both engaging and thoughtfully designed. What makes RCD truly special is its connection to the Lutheran Church. It's more than just a preschool--it's a community. Being part of the church has added a deeper sense of belonging and support, and I'm especially grateful that my child has learned the foundational values of the Christian faith in such a loving setting. RCD is diverse, inclusive, interactive, and supportive. I recommend it to any family looking for a place where their child can thrive academically, socially, and spiritually, all while feeling safe and cared for.
