C.O.P.E. at Tips for Change

Looking for the best Italian restaurant in San Ramon for a delightful dinner experience? Look no further than Gianni’s Italian Bistro, where every Monday night, you’ll not only enjoy a scrumptious Italian meal but also play a vital role in supporting local charitable organizations through “Tips for Change."

Gianni’s commitment to the community extends beyond San Ramon; it encompasses several East Bay cities, including Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek. These heartwarming initiatives bridge communities, uniting dedicated volunteers from local nonprofits with our team. During “Tips for Change” dinners, tips and 10% of the night’s sales directly benefit the essential work of local nonprofits. It’s a culinary experience that resonates far and wide, making a significant impact.

C.O.P.E. has participated in its fifth "Tips for Change" event, each time deepening our commitment to serving our community and expanding our reach to all families. A special thank you to Melanie, Adriana, and Rueben for their kindness and support. See you next year!

Farewell to Ellen Crnkovich
C.O.P.E. says farewell to Ellen Crnkovich and extend a heartfelt THANK YOU for her contribution and commitment to the agency. Ellen has transitioned many staff over the years fielding questions in what had become affectionately known as the "ask Ellen" segment of onboarding. Ellen's work supporting C.O.P.E.'s Anger Management program and Student Academic Review Board (SARB) work has been a great asset to growing to expanding our scope of services in the community. We wish her all the best!
