Thanks to the @pressdemo editorial board for their recognition of the fantastic new @srcharities Caritas Center and "a testament to what this community can accomplish through collaboration and well-coordinated public and private partnerships."

Sonoma County Vintners Foundation, along with our vintners and donors, were proud to raise and contribute $1 million to this initiative, alongside other community-minded organizations.

We look forward to partnering with our wine community to raise more funds to help those who are most in need!
