Support Essential Services: Donate to the Elaine Jones Safety Net Fund

The Elaine Jones Safety Net Fund was created to honor the legacy of Elaine Maria Jones, a dedicated community advocate who championed the well-being of Napa Valley residents. The Fund supports nonprofit organizations that meet the essential needs of working families and vulnerable individuals in Napa County—providing services like food assistance, housing support, healthcare access, and mental health resources. 

By offering flexible funding through grants and zero-interest bridge loans, the Fund helps strengthen the social safety net and ensures that critical programs remain accessible, especially during times of heightened need.

-Strengthen the local safety net so no one falls through the cracks

-Honor Elaine Jones’ lifelong commitment to helping others in times of hardship
