Community Action of Napa Valley tells supervisors food distributions served thousands in April
Summary
Community Action of Napa Valley (CANVY) reported April distribution figures to the Board: nearly 242,000 pounds of food countywide in April and thousands of individual meals and deliveries to seniors; the agency invited supervisors to tour its new food bank.
Phil Rapp, board treasurer for Community Action of Napa Valley (CANVY), briefed the Board of Supervisors during public comment on the agency’s recent operations and usage statistics. Rapp said CANVY served 3,678 Napa individuals and families at the food bank in April, delivered 324 Silver Fox Boxes and nine to 12 staple deliveries twice weekly to seniors, and that Meals on Wheels delivers an average of 444 meals to Napa seniors who cannot cook for themselves.
Rapp said CANVY’s free‑market produce distributions served 4,825 Napa residents in April and that the organization distributed 241,995 pounds of food countywide in April. He invited supervisors and staff to tour CANVY’s new food bank and noted the organization gives public tours every third Monday of the month at 10 a.m.
Why it matters: CANVY’s figures underscore demand for food‑security services in Napa County and were presented while the board reviewed budget allocations for health and social services. The agency’s requests or asks were not included in the transcript as formal budget proposals; Rapp used his public‑comment time to report operations and thank the board for support.
What’s next: CANVY offered to brief supervisors or staff further and provided its website (canvy.org) for contact and tour scheduling.
