NAPA, CA (September 21, 2020) – The Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation, with support from the Napa Valley community, has supplied 2,500 Napa County farmworkers with COVID-19 Health & Safety Kits.
Each kit included a 24-ounce thermal water bottle, a cotton bandana, a thermometer, a 9-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer, protective eyewear, and anti-fog spray in a drawstring bag. Also included was a bilingual “Health and Safety is Paramount” flyer, outlining safety protocols for protecting oneself and others, and information on the Emergency Financial Assistance Program hosted by the UpValley Family Centers and On the Move.
Donations to support the Health and Safety Kits are welcome and, through September 30, will be doubled through the Travis Credit Union Foundation matching program.
The COVID-19 Health & Safety Kits are made possible because of the generous support of these donors: Harmon & Joanne Brown, Wells Fargo Foundation, Ag Health Benefits Alliance, Queen of the Valley Medical Center, Savage & Cooke, Bartelt Engineering, and A&J Vineyard Supply.
