Napa Valley CanDo believes in the power of many small actions to make a really big difference. We connect, inspire and empower Napa Valley residents like you by making it easy to stay informed and work together to create a strong, caring, inclusive community.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
— Margaret Mead
You can volunteer for one of our dynamic projects, even for just an hour or two, or help one of the many local organizations we support. Each individual action connects to others. Together, we‘re making our Valley and world better.
It`s that time again, fall, harvest, pumpkin spice, costumes! As we head into the holiday season, it does us well to remember those who struggle to meet their daily needs. Food insecurity is not an issue for most of us. But there are those who struggle to decide which bills to pay first and, often, buying food is at the bottom of the list.
In this list of nonperishable needs for the Food Bank, we`ve included those items typically used for holiday meals, as well as the usual shortages in their supplies:
• Cereal/oatmeal
• Soup-cans or cartons
• Peanut Butter
• Pasta- all varieties
• Canned Ham as well as other canned meats
• Holiday fare- yams, pumpkin, stuffing, red and green enchilada sauce, mole sauce
You can help stock up the Food Bank for the holidays as well as all year long. Join our Napa Food Project as a food donor or as a coordinator. Both jobs are easy!
