Some California tenants who received checks as part of the state's COVID rent-relief program are now being asked to pay back the money. Napa County Recovery Center helped many local residents apply for the program, and our case workers continue the important work of advocating for these individuals and their families.
You don’t have to be filthy rich to be a philanthropist. Many of our local Napa non-profits offer the option of monthly online donations of any amount. Since they’re automatic, you don’t have to think about it, but you know you are helping someone else every month.
OTM is honored to be part of this initiative, alongside our partners—the Napa Valley Community Foundation, Napa Valley Adult Education, Napa Valley College, the Calistoga Joint Unified School District, and UpValley Family Centers. For those interested in learning more about the program or to register for an August orientation session, contact Edith Pacheco, On the Move (in Napa) at 707-509-3550 or Edith@theneighborhoodinitaitive.org.
On The Move has been awarded a Northern California Wildfires grant from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy to support our long-term recovery efforts. The grant will build our capacity and provide us the resources we need to address unmet needs.
Napa Valley Community Foundation has launched a pop-up recovery center to help individuals and families affected by the Napa wildfires in October.
For a while after the October wildfires, people thought Napa Valley, renowned for its wineries and tourism, would bounce right back. It wasn’t hit as hard as Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Of the 600 homes that were lost here, as many as 45% were second homes. But recovery has been slower than anticipated. An almost-invisible class of people in the agriculture and hospitality industries has been hurt.
Thousands of low and moderate income hourly workers in Napa's agriculture, hospitality and retail industries are getting direct financial aid thanks to the generosity of the Napa Valley Community Foundation, vintners, grape growers and many individual donations.
