In every disaster over 50% of the people who die in their homes are over 65 or disabled. Our Community wants to improve these odds and save lives- that’s why we launched our SeniorDisasterOutreachCampaign
A critical part of the campaign is Community Invo lvement . Together with fire departments and other community partners, Volunteers
- Canvass at-risk neighborhoods
- Offer Free Disaster Kits to Seniors and Disabled
- Survey Service Gap needs
- Provide fire prevention and safety education
- Create a Safety Network of Neighbors, Friends and Families.
We know that our home visits accomplish so much, including identifying where our Seniors and disabled live and preparing our Community fo r the inevitable disaster. Together, We save lives today and tomorrow.
Please join us!

Mission Statement
Our Mission: To build health equity in the Silicon Valley.
Description
Our Vision:
The Health Trust believes every Silicon Valley resident should have the opportunity to live a healthy life.
How:
We at The Health Trust believe that if Silicon Valley is a community where innovation is changing the world, then it also can be a community where innovation changes the lives of everyone - especially our most vulnerable residents - for the better.
As we strive to make our vision reality, we reflect the values of Silicon Valley. When we tackle a problem, we take the broad view. We rely on expertise, partnerships and best practices to generate solutions that will have the greatest impact on those we serve. We invest in projects that are sustainable, show measurable results and provide the greatest return on investment for the community.
With a strong emphasis on prevention, we focus our work through three initiatives: Healthy Living, Healthy Aging and Healthy Communities. Through direct services, we are helping one person at a time. And through policy advocacy and grantmaking, we are changing the local environment to promote healthy eating, healthy aging and healthy living.
