Thank you Active 20-30 Club of Napa #57 for hosting some of our families at your annual Project Santa. The children were overjoyed. Just to quote one family, “the smiles and memories of my daughter opening up those precious gifts are priceless knowing that there are many single moms like myself who are barely making it and doing her very best to help make Christmas that much more special.”
The recent natural disasters have brought to light the need for more knowledge on how to support children during disaster response and recovery. This FREE webinar series starts on on September 26th and is intended for child care providers who want to learn more about how to protect their child care businesses and support the children under their care.

We are thankful to our community for pulling together to help each other during the Napa fires; thankful for local businesses that provided free meals, accommodations and services to those affected by the fires; thankful for local officials who worked long hours to keep us informed, thankful for first responders from near and far who kept us safe; thankful for volunteers who were so generous with their time, and thankful for donors who were able to help financially!
