Happy New Year! As we look ahead to 2023, we have confidence and resolve in our mission. Last year we saw pre-pandemic levels (and higher) of survivors in need, as cases became more complex, as inflation impacted our families. As we head into the New Year, we saw you, our community, step up to our call for support. Not only did our board raised $50,000 as part of a match challenge, but, your end-of-year giving has put us on track to meet our annual goals. These crucial dollars go to funding our life-saving programs, providing shelter, food, clothing, court advocacy, children's programs, and more to our domestic violence and sexual abuse survivors.
We always say it, but we feel it is always true, especially after such a generous season of giving: your support reminds us that our survivors are not alone, and that the Napa community is stronger together.
Wishing you and yours a safe and healthy 2023!
Sincerely,
Tracy Lamb, NEWS Executive Director

Every holiday season, we organize an "Adopt a Family" drive for families experiencing domestic violence and sexual abuse. Our families write up "wish lists" that generous donors purchase and then wrap in festive paper and ribbon. NEWS "elves" distribute the gifts to clients the week before Christmas, providing our families with the confidence, love, and joy they deserve during the holiday season.
This past Christmas, 67 families, including 146 children, received gifts from our generous donors. Thank you to all who helped brighten our families' holiday season - you warmed our hearts!
If you are experiencing abuse or would just like some information, please call our help line, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
THANKFUL FOR OUR SUPPORTERS!
