It breaks my heart to see so many loved ones in my hometown at the center of such a big disaster. With several wildfires raging through Napa County and many neighboring counties, I’m in shock and overwhelmed with emotions like many.
The wildfires still are not yet contained, all we can do it hope no more lives are lost as the firefighters continue to bravely save as many lives and homes as they can. Please stay safe and check your local news for the latest updates. The easiest way to get this information is to text your zip code to 888777 to new information via texts such as evacuations, emergency shelter locations, and road closures.
As a third generation “Napkin” I’m so proud to say I was born and raised in a beautiful, friendly and strong community. I know we will all come together to help those in need. With me living in SF, while my whole family is in Napa I’ve felt a little helpless. Many people I’ve talked to in Napa actually feel the same. I started looking into ways to help and have listed some below.

Donations
With so many friends and family affected by these fires I wanted to give back as much as I can. So I’m teaming up with MNTSTUDIO in SF to host a donation-based class on Saturday October 14th at 9am. You can sign up online, here. All donations will go to the Napa Valley Community Foundation. I will also be going up to Napa to check on my family and friends. Along with volunteer at the shelters currently in place. If anyone would like to come help please reach out, or if you have anything you would like to donate to help, it would be very appreciated.
Many have lost everything, at this time we need to come together as a community and help those in need. With so many way to help, you can donate to the Red Cross, drop off supplies to the shelters listed below, or donate to the food pantries.
