Giving Back this Holiday Season: How to Support Local and National Charities
The holidays are a time for connection, gratitude, and generosity. At Priest Ranch, we believe in the power of giving back to strengthen our communities and spread the joy of the season. This year, we’re sharing ways you can support local and national charities, from Napa Valley to across the U.S., that make a real difference in people’s lives.
Join us in celebrating the spirit of giving, whether by volunteering, donating, or attending a holiday wine tasting at our tasting room in Napa Valley.
Local Charities to Support in Napa Valley
1. Jameson Humane
Jameson Humane is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals, as well as educating communities on how to improve animal welfare. Your donation helps provide medical care, shelter, and love to animals in need.
2. Boys & Girls Club of Napa Valley
Support Napa’s youth by donating to the Boys & Girls Club Napa Valley. This organization empowers children with educational programs, mentorship, and a safe place to grow. Even a small contribution can have a lasting impact on a young person’s future.
3. Adopt a Family
Adopt a Family programs ensure local families in need have gifts, clothing, and essentials during the holidays. The St. Helena Chamber of Commerce has a great list of options to find out how you can spread holiday cheer to local families in need and help make their season brighter.
National Charities to Consider
1. Feeding America
With millions of families facing food insecurity, Feeding America provides meals through its network of food banks across the U.S. You can donate, organize a food drive, or volunteer at your local branch.
2. ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)
This organization rescues animals, supports shelters, and works to protect animal welfare nationwide. Donations fund their rescue missions and adoption programs.
3. Meals on Wheels
Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals to seniors who are unable to shop or cook for themselves. Volunteer to deliver meals or donate to help this vital program continue its mission.
Ways to Get Involved
- Volunteer Locally: Dedicate a few hours to serving meals at a food bank, helping at a shelter, or assisting with gift-wrapping events.
- Host a Fundraiser: Organize a holiday party, bake sale, or wine tasting to raise money for a cause close to your heart.
- Make Monetary Donations: Financial contributions are always needed and ensure organizations can continue their critical work.
- Spread Awareness: Use your voice on social media to amplify the causes you care about and inspire others to take action.
- Support Animal Shelters: Donate supplies like blankets, pet food, and toys, or spend time volunteering at a local shelter.
