It was wonderful to see Drene Johnson, Executive Director of Community Action of Napa Valley, alongside Elisabeth Frater, Board Director at Feeding It Forward, at the 2026 Joint Summer Mixer.

There was something especially fitting about having CANV and Feeding It Forward side by side — two organizations working every day to provide food, support, and resources to so many of our neighbors throughout Napa County. 💚

More than 200 members of our community came together for the evening, hosted by the Napa Chamber of Commerce and Napa County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on the beautiful grounds of the Napa Valley Education Foundation.

We’re grateful for opportunities like these to connect with fellow community leaders, strengthen partnerships, and celebrate the organizations working together to make Napa County stronger.

If you had to leave your home in 5 minutes, would you know what to take?

Important documents, medications, emergency contacts, and a family meeting plan can make a big difference during an emergency. Taking time now to prepare can help your family respond quickly and reduce stress when every minute matters.

Prepared families respond faster and recover stronger.

Thank you, Festival Napa Valley, for partnering with us to rescue your extra available food from Festival events and the Festival Music Academy. We loved being part of your sustainability program to prevent food from going to waste and to give back to the community by feeding many in need throughout Napa County. 👏👏
