On the Road against Food Insecurity
Thank you all who have donated time and resources as we help those in need of the multiple emergencies we have faced recently.
It has allowed us to provide the ongoing transport of increased volumes of food in our community, so it can go where the real need is!
The monetary donations help cover the variable costs (fuel, supplies, etc.) of transporting the fresh, perishable food safely and successfully to their final destinations- the agencies that serve those in need throughout Napa County.
Thanks to everyone for making our community safer & healthier!
Wildfire Safety and Preparedness
Stay alert. California’s continued heat and drought conditions mean wildfire risks are high. Did you know the 5 years were the most destructive wildfire seasons in California history? This is a reminder that wildfires can happen at any time. Stay prepared, be ready to evacuate early, and make sure you have a 5-minute plan to get out safely and quickly.

Refrigerated or frozen foods may not be safe to eat after the loss of power. Find out what you can do to keep food safe during a power outage and when you need to throw away food that could make you sick.
