How We Impact the Community
What's more important to the children, seniors, and hardworking but financially challenged families in our local community than food on the table and a roof over their heads? Our volunteers choose to address those very needs of our neighbors in this unique and diverse Napa community of ours.
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.
By personal face to face contact with clients, often including home visits, we tailor our assistance to hundreds of individuals and families every year; be it with access to healthy food or help with rent and utilities. Our Thanksgiving baskets alone serve 180 families. In these times of pandemic, rising housing costs, fires and food insecurity, our efforts have never been more needed.
