2024年7月8日 - 10:05PM
Lewis Cellars has selected 11 Napa Valley nonprofit organizations
to receive $200,000 in grant funding as a part of its inaugural
Community Grants Program. The program, which opened for
applications in January 2024, seeks to provide local organizations
with valuable financial support and resources to enrich the lives
of the community through education, community improvement, arts,
health and wellness, and social services.
“Wine is a community affair – from farming and cellaring to
bottling and hospitality. It’s important that we take the same care
we put into crafting wines to supporting our communities,” said
Dennis Bell, proprietor of Lewis Cellars. “With this program, we
recognize the recipients and their hard work to improve the Napa
community where many Lewis Cellars employees and their families
live, work, learn, and play.”
With high demand, Lewis Cellars allocated $200,000 to the 2024
program after reviewing the applications. Applications were
submitted by nonprofit organizations throughout Napa Valley and
were reviewed by a committee of employee volunteers who identified
organizations providing projects and services that directly
benefited local communities.
Among the 2024 recipients are:
- Cope Family Center: Providing
parents with education, resources, and support to raise thriving
children.
- Expression of Hope: Fostering a
nurturing and supportive environment for foster, kinship, adoptive,
and at-risk families.
- OLE Health: Ensuring access to fresh
produce with a food assistance program to help nourish the
body.
- Saint Helena Hospital Foundation:
Building an initiative to provide a Women’s Mobile Healthcare
clinic for those in need.
“We are deeply grateful to Lewis Cellars for their generous
support of our Women’s Mobile Health Healthcare Initiative,” said
Noemi Mauricio, RN supervisor, mobile health, for the Saint Helena
Hospital Foundation. “This grant will enable us to expand our reach
and provide vital healthcare services to underserved women in Napa
County. Our 'Women’s Healthcare Initiative' aims to remove barriers
and increase access to health care and preventative screenings. We
are excited to make a significant impact on the well-being of our
community.”
The winery will continue its community grants program beyond
this year and extend its support to many more deserving
organizations and initiatives throughout Napa. Community Grant
applications will open again in January 2025. For more information
