How We Impact the Community

CANV is dedicated to supporting the well-being and self-sufficiency of Napa Valley’s most vulnerable populations. Serving over 14,000 individuals monthly through its food pantries and delivering 450 daily meals to seniors at no charge via Meals on Wheels, CANV plays a crucial role in the community. Its unique CANV Kids program further supports families by providing nurturing care and educational opportunities for children.

What sets CANV apart is its deep local integration and responsiveness to the specific needs of Napa Valley residents. The organization’s operations are primarily powered by a dedicated volunteer workforce, enhancing its community-driven mission. This volunteer involvement not only expands CANV’s reach but also fortifies community connections, building a robust support network.

As a first responder during disasters, CANV’s role is vital in providing immediate aid and long-term support. This aligns with its mission to “provide services and resources that promote and encourage self-sufficiency of the most vulnerable members of our community,” making CANV indispensable in fostering a resilient and thriving Napa Valley.

Testimonial

We are a family of three and the cost of food at the grocery store is overwhelming. If it was not for the CANV Food Bank I don’t know what we would do. Thank God for the foodbank!
