A devastating wildfire has once again torn through Napa and Sonoma counties, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. This time it is the Glass Fire that is to blame.
While the scenes of burned-out houses and businesses have become unfortunately too familiar after years of recurring wildfires, that does not diminish the need for support among individuals, families and the community at large.
If you would like to support the rebuilding effort and provide relief to the North Bay, here are organizations that are lending a hand in Napa and Sonoma counties.
