About Hands Across the Valley
Since 1994, Hands Across the Valley has brought people together to ensure no one in Napa County goes hungry. What began as a grassroots effort sparked by local leaders – moved by the growing food insecurity in one of the wealthiest regions in the country – Hands Across the Valley has become Napa’s largest fundraiser supporting safety net food programs.
