Places to Donate
The last few days have been rough here in the Bay Area. Fires continue to rage through Sonoma and Napa, engulfing homes, business, and wineries a like. Due to high winds trees from the drought, and warm conditions the fires are spreading quickly and easily. It’s devastating to watch friends and families houses are in danger and as one of my favourite places is ravaged. A literal dark cloud of smoke hangs heavy over San Francisco and surrounding areas.
There are so so many many tragedies going on in the world and many have graciously volunteered and donated to these causes, many which still need our help and attention, but if you live in the Bay Area or wanting to lend a helping hand, wine country could use our help for the Sonoma Napa Fires! There are many ways to give back to this community that comprise of wine manufacturers, wineries, shop owners, home owner, families, and animals who all have lost their home or are currently displaced due to continuing evacuations from the Sonoma Napa Fires.
