We empower PTSD veterans and disabled people to live a more independent life by providing them with specially trained assistance dogs. Our dogs assist with physical needs, address and soothe emotional wounds, retrieve dropped items, bring needed items, help them feel safe in public, calm, comfort, adore and love them. In just a few short years of service, we’ve placed 20+ service dogs. We have a waitlist with people waiting anxiously for our dogs!
We provide compassionate care through our core programs: Hospice and Palliative Services, Senior Illness and Alzheimer’s Care, and Caregiver Support. Facing the end of life or caring for those with a serious illness can be stressful, sometimes overwhelming experience and we aim to ensure that no one faces these challenges alone.
We administer multiple health and human service programs to low-income individuals and families through our Food Bank, Meals On Wheels and CANV Kids programs. We’ve served the vulnerable since 1965; every day, we offer emergency assistance along with tools and skills to rebuild lives and to fully participate in this amazing community. We believe that no one in our community should live in poverty.
We alleviate hunger, and reduce waste, in Napa County by recovering excess fresh food from donors, delivering this food to over 40 community partner organizations that serve our neighbors suffering food insecurity. Addressing both food insecurity and food waste improves the health, well-being, and economy of our community. We believe everyone deserves a healthy diet.
We believe each of us has the capacity to improve our mental health. To that end, we educate, support and inspire people of every age and income level to take charge of their mental well-being every day. With programs that range from prevention to treatment, we work to ensure our community’s mental health flourishes.
We are a residential program offering transitional and independent-living support to post-secondary-school adults with developmental, learning and autism-spectrum disabilities. Our goal is to help each individual achieve the highest level of independence in their living situations, at work and in their social life.
We build community around local food. This year we’ll provide over $50,000 in food assistance through Market Match, which doubles CalFresh benefits so low-income customers can buy fruits and vegetables from our farmers. Your donation will support our food assistance and nutrition incentive programs to meet growing demand in 2022.
Help us advocate and fundraise for local programs, youth recreation scholarships, and park enhancements that will otherwise go unfunded. With your support, we can continue to empower our community, and positively influence the health and wellness of thousands of residents and visitors who live, work, and play here each day.
