The Choices We Make
Napa Valley CanDo seeks to inspire and facilitate action
by alerting interested Valley residents about opportunities for service. If you participate as a volunteer in an activity that you learned about through Napa Valley CanDo, whether initiated by CanDo or another organization, please take personal responsibility for your involvement. Use common sense. Only you can determine whether an activity is a good
fit, that is to say
compatible with your interests and abilities.

THE POWER OF CONNECTION
Last week, we wrote about the power of working together to make great things happen. It occurred to us that this is a good time to revisit our logo, designed to exemplify that concept
Four figures join in their efforts, forming community, yet all reaching out to lend a hand.
But as connected as we are, there's space at our core, and that's essential: space for individuals, for diverse ideas, for open conversation.
We invite you to engage a bit more with Napa Valley CanDo in 2017. We welcome your creativity, your concern for our Valley, your readiness - even now and then - to be a part of this vital, grassroots effort.
Always and in all ways, we strive to ease the path from intent to action.
