COAD empowers Napa County residents to be better prepared for, and recover more effectively, from emergencies and disasters. Your support is instrumental in enabling us to reach those who need it most.

With your help, we aim to bring our “Meet Your Neighbor”, “Renters Insurance” and “Until Help Arrives” workshops to 1,500 community members, specifically targeting Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) households, seniors, Adults with Functional Needs (AFN) and households with young children. These populations are often the most vulnerable, with local studies showing 43% of seniors and 52% of low-income households lack emergency kits or plans. We also know 79% of Latino residents in our county earn $50K or less annually, highlighting a significant need within this demographic. Your contributions will allow us to bring preparedness materials and supplies to vulnerable individuals.  Our Community Connections program also connects these households to other resources available in Napa County.

By focusing on these residents, we encourage small, meaningful steps toward household and community resilience, fostering vital connections before, during, and after a disaster.

Imagine not being able to read words. Picture a young adult staring at homework, desperate for help. Imagine being a child unable to attend a summer program due to the costs. Or an older adult, alone, trying to see pictures of loved ones but unable to navigate a tablet.

Every day, thanks to the generosity of donors and the dedication of volunteers, we help the Napa Library meet such needs for our community, offering programs like the Summer Reading Adventure and the Memory Lab.

Our impact extends well beyond the library’s walls. We donate books to schools, laundromats, senior housing, hospitals, family centers—even the local jail. Most importantly, we distribute thousands of free books to children each year, helping them discover the joy of reading and the pride that comes with having a book of their own.

By promoting literacy and learning, we open doors to opportunity. Your support keeps our library a vibrant hub of education, culture, and connection, where everyone, from young readers to older adults, feels a sense of belonging.

Since 1988, NPRF has partnered closely with the City of Napa to build a world-class parks and recreation system that ensures all residents and visitors have equal access to parks, programs, and facilities. We inspire a healthier, more connected community by advocating for and funding opportunities that promote lifelong learning, exploration, healthy lifestyles and play in our city.

Past projects include Arbor Day celebrations, building Playground Fantastico, providing youth recreation programs, Senior Activity Center fitness equipment, playground equipment replacements, and Friends of Westwood Hills Park improvements. In 2024, the program provided funding for 64 scholarship recipients, a total allocation of $15,000, to participate in either 2-week summer camp programs (21%) or a series of swim lessons or aquatics related programs (79%). The average scholarship allocation was $238 per child, ages 3 to 16 years old.

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.

We are dedicated to serving the Latino community through multicultural, advocacy-based programs. Our initiatives, developed by and for Latinos, make us a second home for many. Our team members are bilingual, bicultural Latinos who bring genuine empathy and lived experience to their work.

Our clients are primarily low-income, Spanish-speaking individuals working in agriculture, hospitality, wine, and food industries. Latinos in Napa Valley contribute invaluable skills, labor, and cultural richness—they are essential to our community and Napa’s success. Therefore, we strive to be an extended family, serving them with compassion, dignity, and respect so they can successfully build their lives in Napa County.

We provide culturally responsive services, directly serving an average of 3,500 individuals each year, distributing over $40,000 in food assistance, connecting more than 1,800 people to essential resources through referrals, and reaching 10,000 community members through our outreach efforts.

We connect clients to reliable resources, offer educational and cultural wellness programs, feed families, and—most importantly—build long-lasting, trusting relationships in our community.

Who can a family turn to when their only breadwinner is injured or ill? They can turn to St. Vincent de Paul.

We impact the community by addressing food and housing needs in this diverse Napa community. Our worldwide organization, founded in the 19th century, has been continually active in the Napa community since 1941, giving personalized, practical, “no strings attached” assistance to those in need, regardless of creed, color, gender, or circumstance.

Through personal contact with clients, often including home visits, we tailor our assistance to the unique needs of over 350 families each year, providing what is needed to fill the gaps. Sometimes this means helping families access healthy food, or helping with rent, utility, or transportation costs. Our Thanksgiving boxes are a staple for over 130 families. And our monthly food distribution, coupled with the food recovery program of Feeding It Forward, reliably provides dozens of families with fresh food each month.

In these challenging times of rising costs and increasing food and housing insecurity, having a dependable source of aid offers relief, hope, and peace of mind for neighbors in need.

Everyone deserves a habitable place to live no matter their race, income, age, familial status, or background. Our mission is to eliminate housing discrimination and ensure equal access to housing for all. We do this by offering free education to tenants and housing providers about fair housing laws, providing one-on-one counseling, and investigating discrimination complaints.

We are one of the only organizations in Napa County focused solely on fair housing and landlord/tenant work. In the past year, we’ve assisted 530 households through casework, advocacy, and outreach.

Our small, dedicated team of fair housing specialists works directly with people affected by housing injustice, providing assistance in English and Spanish, so people know their rights and don’t have to face housing problems alone. Together, we’re making Napa County more just and inclusive for everyone.

CANV is dedicated to supporting the well-being and self-sufficiency of Napa Valley’s most vulnerable populations. Serving over 15,000 individuals monthly through food pantries and delivering 450 daily meals to seniors at no charge via Meals on Wheels, CANV plays a crucial role in the community. Our unique CANV Kids program further supports families by providing nurturing care and educational opportunities for children.

What sets us apart is its deep local integration and responsiveness to the specific needs of Napa Valley residents. The organization’s operations are primarily powered by a dedicated volunteer workforce, enhancing our community-driven mission. This volunteer involvement not only expands our reach but also fortifies community connections, building a robust support network.

As a first responder during disasters, CANV’s role is vital in providing immediate aid and long-term support. This aligns with our mission to “provide services and resources that promote and encourage self-sufficiency of the most vulnerable members of our community,” making CANV indispensable in fostering a resilient and thriving Napa Valley.

Abode assists people who are currently experiencing or who have recently experienced homelessness. Annually, we serve over 900 individuals throughout Napa County. We provide case management, housing support, and street outreach; operate shelters in North and South Napa; provide permanent supportive housing services at three locations; and offer tenancy sustaining services at sites throughout Napa aimed at keeping people housed for the long term.

Abode shelters individuals during their most difficult times, providing safe beds, warm showers, nourishing meals, and case management support. Once housed, we support the client on their pathway to self-sufficiency. Abode case managers aim to build a base of stability for long term success in housing. Supporting residents to pay rent on time, create a budget, follow the terms of their lease, keep their units clean and in good repair, and communicate effectively with property management.

In 2024 we welcomed more than 250 people into new homes. We invite you to help us support families and individuals transitioning from homelessness into a welcoming home, with a community around them that cares about their success.

We are a strong support network of mothers, for mothers, designed to help each other navigate the challenges of parenthood.  Napa Moms supports over 600 families in the Napa Valley by offering targeted resources and assistance. Our programs and services provide a safe and welcoming environment for moms and families to connect and build community throughout Napa County.

We strive to ensure that all mothers, regardless of their background or circumstances, feel included and supported.

In 2025, we hosted 250+ families at the Childhood Expo, hosted weekly playdates, and participated in large community events.  During Earth Day and Kids Day we created a lounge space for mothers to privately feed their children, rehydrate and recharge. We held private member events including book clubs, moms and dads nights out, family picnics and holiday events. We posted monthly mommy wellness checks, offered school resources, gave 60+ member scholarships and provided other financial support to families in need.

Cope Family Center is a family resource center in downtown Napa that empowers parents with the education, resources, and support they need to raise children who thrive. Our goal is to help parents manage stressful situations and challenging life events so they can give their children brighter futures.

In the 52 years that Cope has served the Napa Valley community, we have supported more than 80,000 families with crisis support, emergency assistance, parent education, and family strengthening services. Last year, Cope’s Family Resource Center distributed more than 20,000 diapers and gave more than $54,000 in emergency aid. Over the course of the year, Cope served more than 1,400 parents and caregivers of more than 1,700 children across our programs. By helping families through challenging times, Cope helps reduce childhood trauma that can have lasting physical and mental health consequences.

In collaboration with the Napa County Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC), Cope helps advance countywide efforts to prevent child maltreatment through public awareness and education, mandated reporter trainings, and advocacy.

NCBC is the only nonprofit wholly dedicated to improving active transportation countywide. We are committed to making biking safe and accessible for all, so that everyone can experience the joy and benefits of riding a bike.

We EDUCATE. Our programs include leading the countywide Safe Routes to School, which provides free in-school bicycle safety education to 1,700 elementary school students per school year and distributes over 600 helmets to those in need. We organize free community rides and rodeos teach bike safety and handling skills to over 400 youth and adults.

We ADVOCATE. NCBC members show up to community meetings, work with city staff and councils, and track plans and projects; our involvement has secured infrastructure improvements like buffered and protected bike lanes, increased street sweeping of bike facilities, and bike-friendlier transportation and general plans.

We ENCOURAGE. Bike to work and school days engage 3,000 local youth and adults in healthy, active transportation; Napa Bikefest builds community and offers access to bicycle resources; free bike valet parks over 1,000 bikes a year, making local events more bike-friendly and sustainable.

We supplement the generous canned food donations made to the CANV Food Bank with nutritious, delicious, fresh fruits and vegetables grown on our Mission Farm, all provided free of cost to those in need.

Having access to fresh fruit and vegetables provides families with the dignity to cook meals of their choice, and the agency to curate healthier options. Canned food alone does not provide this, and we fill this critical gap.

Last crop season the Mission Farm delivered to the Food Bank 20,000 lbs. of organic produce. If sold commercially, it would fetch about $56,600! Our volunteer parishioner-farmers feel proud to make such a significant contribution to the nutritional quality of the diets our low-income neighbors can afford.

CanDo connects, inspires, and empowers neighbors to take positive action through volunteerism. Our projects are based on a commitment to address unmet community needs. CanDo orchestrates this Give!Guide, which in 13 years has raised $ 7,321, 498 for 167 nonprofits serving our community.

Four of CanDo’s other current projects address food insecurity: Garden for the Food Bank, Food Rescue Team, Napa Valley Food Project, and Gleaning Project. Since 2014, we’ve grown, collected, or gleaned a total of 698, 457 pounds of food plus $125, 853 in donations! It has all gone directly to the CAN-V Food Bank, or through our partnership with Feeding It Forward Napa Valley, to our neighbors who need it most.

Our “Stow It- Don’t Throw It” project aims to keep fishing lines out of our beautiful Napa Waterways. Our Neighborhood Reads volunteers keep Little Free Libraries around town stocked with a fresh supply of books for young readers.

The newest project added last year, Pro-Inclusion Napa (PIN), promotes understanding and tolerance throughout our community by developing programs based on our core values of respect, acceptance, and kindness. PIN Positive Poster Project, launched at Browns Valley TK-8 and Valley Oak High School, continues to inspire local youth in classrooms and at community events.

CanDo is an all-volunteer organization with no membership requirements. We stay connected via a weekly eNewsletter that highlights done-in-a-day volunteer opportunities and community events.

We are a small, 100% Volunteer Fire Station that is part of the greater Napa County Fire Department. We primarily serve the Deer Park area, answering an average of 600 calls each year. We are trained in all risk emergency response services. Volunteers must either work or live in the response area and be available 24/7.

When the need arises, the Deer Park Fire Department is available to serve the entire Napa Valley community. We also regularly service St. Helena and Calistoga to the Napa County line. In the event of large-scale wildfire, we may serve on extended duty for strike teams throughout the state.

The Station Fire House, which sits on the grounds of St. Helena Hospital, was built and funded by volunteers from the community in the late 1960’s. Your continued support keeps our community safer and more prepared during emergencies.

Formed 105 years ago, the national League of Women Voters (LWV) has over 700 state and local Leagues. The grassroots nonprofit believes the freedom to vote is a nonpartisan right, to be protected and encouraged. It promotes informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Locally, LWV of Napa County makes democracy work by educating voters, providing nonpartisan election information, and advocating for important community issues, often in partnership with coalitions or other nonprofits. During election years, we hold nonpartisan/unbiased bilingual candidate forums and pro/con programs on ballot measures. We distribute Easy Voter Guides, produced by LWVC EdFund, containing voter information and state propositions in simple language.

On our website, Vote411.org, voters can find information and links to everything on their ballot and local candidates can post information about themselves, free of charge. We work with Napa County high school and college students, educating and involving our next generation of civic leaders.

Each year over 1,000 Napa residents receive the information, legal advice and representation needed to advance towards citizenship and lessen fears of deportation. Your support can change the lives of some of Napa County’s most vulnerable community members. IIBA helps immigrants, refugees, and their families join and contribute to the community by providing high-quality, affordable immigration legal services, education, and civic engagement opportunities.

Napa Valley Community Foundation invited IIBA to open our Napa office in 2013 to close the county’s citizenship gap. Since then, over 2,500 Napa residents have become U.S. Citizens, nearly 14,000 have received legal advice, and over 8,000 have filed applications for immigration relief. This results in better employment opportunities, access to healthcare, family stability and community safety.

Napa Valley values our immigrant neighbors, recognizing the essential roles immigrants have in our community. Help us to remove barriers so that all community members can reach their fullest potential.

We feed families fresh, local fruits and veggies. As Napa County’s largest California Certified Farmers Market, our mission is to support local farmers and provide an inclusive place for our community to purchase farm-fresh, sustainably grown produce and specialty foods, directly from the source.

In 2024, we served 628 families through our food assistance programs and $199,670 was spent by people and families with low-income to purchase fresh produce and food from our farmers and vendors. In addition to putting more nutritious food on the table of households with low-income, our Market Match program, which doubles CalFresh (“food stamp”) benefits to purchase fruits and veggies, supports the livelihood of local farmers with increased sales. Since starting the program in 2012, we’ve matched over $393,785 in CalFresh benefits. Last year Market Match funds purchased an estimated 149,570 servings of wholesome fruits and veggies for people in our community.

Your donation helps us do our part to fight local food insecurity, increase equitable access to sustainably grown produce, and grow community around local food!

We work throughout Napa County and its environs, upon request by the County Sheriff’s office or the California Office of Emergency Services (OES). Our volunteers train 15-25 hours monthly as a team so we are ready to deploy immediately when needed. Annually, we donate over 3,600 hours of effort in searches and training.

We supply all our own personal rescue equipment and SAR team equipment without financial support from the Sheriff’s office or the County, and work at no charge to those in need. We have found lost children, at-risk adults, and lost hikers; we rescue people from all walks of life who find themselves lost, stuck, or endangered. Our services frequently save lives. Even when we have the difficult experience of finding people who are no longer living, search and rescue teams take comfort in the knowledge that families can move forward in the grieving process as a result of our efforts.

Many people know the Salvation Army for our holiday toy drives (we provide gifts and assistance for families who would otherwise go without during the holiday season) and meal assistance (we serve an average of 180 hot meals per week day). But fewer people know how much else we provide the larger community.

We are proud to provide a range of social services, including rehabilitation programs for individuals struggling with addiction, disaster relief, utility/rental assistance, and food assistance for those in need. In addition, our community center is a community hub, offering recreational activities, educational programs, and social services that strengthen community bonds and support overall wellbeing in a safe, public space.

We are one of the first organizations to respond during natural disasters, providing food, shelter, and emotional support to those affected. We run programs for youth development, educational support, mentoring, and recreational activities to help young people thrive. As a Christian organization, we provide spiritual guidance and support to those who seek it, contributing to the overall well-being of individuals. We engage community members in volunteer work, fostering a sense of civic responsibility and solidarity among residents.

From preschoolers to teens, working parents to elderly individuals, we serve over 3,500 people a year through access to financial, educational, social and health services. Our offices in Calistoga and St. Helena, including our new community resource hub and offices at school sites, serve as ‘one-stop shops’ providing prevention-focused, community-responsive programs that are culturally sensitive and aim to help families and communities build on the strengths they already possess to create a future of opportunity.

UpValley Family Centers advances equity and opportunity for farmworkers, hospitality workers, immigrants, and rural, low-income youth and families. We support well-being by reducing access barriers, elevating community leaders, and creating a more inclusive, resilient Napa Valley. In this time of financial and social uncertainty we continue our steadfast commitment to our role as a social safety net provider.

We create pathways for adults with developmental disabilities to live, work, and thrive as valued members of our community. We provide job training, paid employment, and opportunities for artistic expression through our inclusive art gallery. We help over 200 individuals each year gain skills, confidence, and independence. Families find peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported, safe, and connected.

Our staff are compassionate job coaches, instructors, and artists, working one-on-one to match each person’s abilities with real-world opportunities. Local employers and artists join us to build a community that welcomes everyone’s unique talents.

Our Impact goes beyond paychecks. Our programs create friendships, purpose, and pride. When an adult earns their first paycheck or brings their art to public space for sharing or for selling, we are changing lives by fostering self-reliance for individuals and connection for the community. We work every day to empower adults with disabilities to live fully engaged lives of dignity and inclusion. Because when everyone belongs, our whole community grows stronger.

CRC serves over 4,500 people in Napa County, working to ensure every young child has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing environment. More than 1,200 children now access our free or low-cost, high-quality care during their most critical developmental years. This is a 30% increase in just the last year; the need for our services continues to grow.

We train and coach over 400 early educators, caregivers, and parents in child development, trauma-informed care, and more,  which directly impacts more than 1,700 children. With only 1 in 4 children able to access quality child care, we’ve helped 46 women, many from underserved communities, launch home-based child care businesses. Through hands-on support and business coaching, we’ve helped create 480 new child care spaces, enabling as many adult guardians to enter or remain in the workforce.

We partner with public and private agencies to expand access, improve quality, and connect families – especially those facing poverty or instability – to the resources they need. Help us build a future where every child, regardless of circumstance, has the support they need to thrive!

We develop, preserve, and manage affordable homes for Napa County residents, and offer on-site services that help people thrive. Our 506 rental units serve nearly 1,900 low-income individuals and families, including seniors, farmworkers, and veterans. Our HomeSharing Program placed 85 individuals last year, including 7 who were previously unhoused or at immediate risk.

Resident Services is the heart of our mission. In 2024 we provided nearly 1,000 wellness, education, and leadership classes and coordinated hundreds of food distributions to supplement household groceries. Each year we help families avoid eviction through emergency rental assistance and make referrals to partner agencies for medical care, job support, and/ or legal aid.

We meet people where they are by providing housing and surrounding residents with tools to build stronger futures. Whether we’re serving a single parent regaining stability, a grandparent learning English, or a young adult landing their first job, we believe that a secure home is just the beginning.

With your support, the cycle of poverty ends and the path to opportunity opens.

We are proud to provide services that actively work to decrease senior isolation and raise awareness of gender-based violence, to provide scholarships to high school seniors and to those pursuing higher education while being head of household, and to work with our high school “S” club to actively support local students.

We also act in partnership to respond to various community needs benefitting women and girls. These endeavors include donating pajamas to foster kids, supporting Girls on the Run both financially and through volunteering, providing 40 Hope Bags each year to survivors of domestic abuse and sex trafficking, and supporting NEWS in their mission. Our work is unique in that it focuses on women and girls’ empowerment and is always done by volunteers, all of whom are very passionate about fulfilling our mission.
