We first put out a call for help early morning on October 9th and were humbled by the sheer number and great enthusiasm of the individual volunteers who joined us to provide evacuation and shelter operations support over the course of the following weeks. We had on order of a thousand contacts from individuals and corporate teams who offered to help, not only from the Bay Area but from across the U.S. More than 300 people volunteered at our NVHA and VBEC sheltering sites alone and many others who contacted us were sent to help at the Vintage Farm and Solano Fairgrounds sheltering sites.
Special thanks to CaliforniaVolunteers of the Governor’s Office who helped get the word out that we needed volunteers, to Napa County Supervisor Brad Wageknecht and Congressman Mike Thompson for their concern and support, and to The Doctor’s Company, who provided paid time off to a number of the Napa CART and NVHA officers, allowing them to lead volunteer teams at our shelters.
Many volunteers arrived for their shifts with their cars and trucks laden with much needed supplies, that they donated. Others not only worked shifts but also cooked and served meals for the other volunteers. Families volunteered together. Bay Area government officials led by example, rolled up their sleeves and took shifts bucking hay and palletizing supplies. Friends came with friends and everyone came with a lot of energy and positive attitudes.
Our sincere thanks to the following individuals who helped the Napa CART and NVHA team at the NVHA and VBEC animal shelter locations. You made the scale and success of our evacuation and shelter operations possible.
