Ways to Give - Helping Those Affected by the Wildfires"Look for the helpers."
-Mister Rogers
We have so many wonderful helpers in this community! Looking for ways to join in the helping? Here are some ways: Napa Valley COAD is collecting gift cards to help those displaced and in need. Gift cards from general/sundry stores, grocery stores, and gas stations in $25 increments are preferred. Unfortunately, general cards such as Visa and Mastercard often have fees associated with activating them and the value of the card is diminished. Check out the photo below for drop off locations. You can also visit COAD's website also: http://napavalleycoad.org/Donations can be made to the Napa Valley Community Foundation. The Foundation has set up a 2020 Napa County WildFire Fund, which is part of the Disaster Relief Fund. Funding will go to support response grants for agencies actively supporting individuals impacted by the fires. Tax-deductible contributions to the 2020 Napa Wildfire Fund are welcome in any amount; and can be made by visiting the Foundation's website: http://ow.ly/UdSb50B4XAP |

Temporary Road Closure: Main Street between Second and Third StreetsHEADS UP! Main Street between Second and Third Streets will be closed to vehicle traffic beginning tomorrow morning. This temporary closure will help provide additional space for pedestrians to properly social distance when visiting many of our local restaurants and Veterans Park, which make up this busy downtown block.
To ensure everyone’s safety, the following measures will be taken: - Barricades and traffic control signage will be placed to alert drivers of the change.
- The traffic signal programming at both adjacent intersections will be adjusted to accommodate the temporary closure.
And remember, if you are planning on spending time away from home, be a good #NapaNeighbor and wear your mask, wash your hands and maintain 6’ of distance from others! |
