Spreading joy We are grateful to dozens of community-based organizations, businesses, and individuals who have been spreading joy by supporting this year's Holiday Assistance Program. Your donations and volunteer hours helped bring gifts, food, and support to hundreds of households this month, putting smiles on faces young and old alike. A total of 374 low-income families and seniors in our communities received gift cards, presents, and household necessities from generous supporters. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to our partners in the Napa County Holiday Assistance Program, a valley-wide collaborative that includes the Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, St. Joseph Health Queen of the Valley, CANV, Catholic Charities, St. Helena Catholic Church St. Vincent de Paul Ministry, and Napa County. A special thank you goes out to Grace Episcopal Church, Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School, G&J Seiberlich & Co. LLP, the St. Helena Junior Women’s Club, the St. Helena Police Department, Mustard’s Grill, Solage, Cal Mart, the Calistoga Community Chest, Sylvia’s Coffee Ladies, Acres Home & Gardening, and many individual donors, for their generosity this holiday season. Thank you also to the staff at Calistoga Ranch and Clif Family Winery for volunteering your time at our Holiday Assistance distribution days in Calistoga and St. Helena. | |
