This year we have given over $2000 to the Napa Food Bank thanks to our communities' generosity. We thought this is best way to support individuals and families who have to make choices between shelter, clothing and food. The Napa Food Bank has 7 distribution centers spread from the North to the South in Napa County. We are happy to support their compassionate work.
