Press Release for 5-D Program
Heart of the Valley just completed a successful community pilot program called 5-D (Don’t Dump Drugs Down Drain). This program is significant since it's the first of its kind.

C is for Cookie
Heart of the Valley is putting together a “Cookie Cookbook” that will contain yummy recipes from our volunteers, clients, donors and area agencies. These can be cherished family cookie recipes, newly invented cookie recipes, traditional or international cookie recipes or something delicious you saw in the paper or on TV or in the newspaper. We then hope to sell the “Cookie Cookbook” to earn money to support our seniors!
You can send your wonderful recipes to our office at PO Box 418, Santa Clara, CA 95052 or Email it to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . If it comes with a special story, include that as well!
Also, we are looking for a creative, fun or touching title for our “Cookie Cookbook", so please help us out by contacting HOV by mail or phone to let us know your suggested title!
