We are dedicated to serving and supporting the foster care community in Napa County. We provide hope through backpacks filled with comfort items, clothing and shoes for kids in care. We also help meet the emotional needs of the resource family through mentoring, support groups, training, and respite.
Upholding our civil rights is more important than ever. FHNV works to eliminate housing discrimination and to ensure equal housing choices for all residents. We provide education, counseling, and mediation for all housing issues, investigate allegations of housing discrimination, increase fair housing awareness, and build collaborative partnerships in our community.
FOL serves the community by supporting the diverse programs and services of the Napa City County Library through financial and volunteer contributions. These fiscal and human resources are dedicated to supporting the Library’s role as a critical forum for disseminating information and providing vital support for the community’s many constituencies.
IIBA is the largest non profit provider of high-quality, low-cost immigration legal services in Northern California. In 2013, the Napa Valley Community Foundation (NVCF) invited IIBA to open an office and lead an initiative to provide legal assistance to residents eligible for citizenship. We have since celebrated more than 1,500 new citizens.
We make riding a bicycle in Napa County safe, convenient, and accessible for all ages and abilities. Safe Routes to Schools makes it safer for kids to walk or ride their bike to school. Bilingual family biking workshops, Kidical Mass rides, Bike to Work Day and other activities make bike riding fun.
CanDo connects, inspires and empowers neighbors to take positive action through volunteerism. Challenged by COVID-19, wildfires, and the economic downturn, we’ve made substantial modifications to the Give!Guide and our food insecurity projects to help keep everyone safe and strong. We’re also assisting in organizing volunteers county-wide for Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD).
We transform the lives of children, families, seniors and farmworkers by providing safe and affordable homes. During COVID, our Resident Services assists residents with unemployment and rental assistance applications, connects residents to mental health services and food banks, and keeps residents current with accurate emergency pandemic and fire information.
We create housing opportunities by providing rental units and home homeownership for unskilled, skilled, professional workers and seniors who are vital to our community yet can’t afford to live here. Our goal is to maintain a diverse, vibrant community that balances tourism with quality of life for local residents.
We empower families to aspire for and achieve positive changes by improving educational skills, engaging in the community, becoming self-sufficient, and living a healthier life. We provide a variety of health, social, and educational services that have a significant impact on family interaction, financial stability, civic involvement, and educational success.
We grow fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution through the CANV Food Bank to help families struggling financially put delicious and nutritious meals on their tables. While there has always been a need for this in our county, it has become especially critical during the current COVID-19 crisis.
Our children, families and seniors deserve basic, healthy living conditions. They need water, electricity, heat, food, and a roof over their heads. We provide food boxes and vouchers, partial bill pay, and eviction assistance. We give a hand up, not a handout. No delays, no applications required.
We stand beside residents of Napa County providing a food pantry and daily free meal to address food insecurity. The need has never been greater. Due to additional pressures from COVID-19 and wildfires, we served over 130,000 meals served between March and late-October. We also support families through spiritual programs, recovery support, camping, back-to-school and Christmas resources.
