CALISTOGA >> In response to the devastating Valley Fire in Lake County, Larkmead Vineyards has now raised over $59,000 for those affected by the fire by matching up to $25,000 in donations to the Valley Fire Relief Fund.
Over $34,000 in personal donations has been received, of which Larkmead has matched $25,000 for a total of $59,000. Cam Baker, Proprietor, expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of support received, “It will be years for the community to recover,” he said. “In addition to the devastation of the fires and the crippling of businesses, winter rains could make conditions even worse with mudslides and flooding.”
If you would like to make a donation, please send a check made payable to Valley Fire Relief Fund to Larkmead Vineyards at 1100 Larkmead Lane, Calistoga, CA 94515, care of Erinn Maloney or to the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce at 133 Washington Street, Calistoga, CA 94515.
The Valley Fire Relief Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit and is channeling funds to the following two primary organizations. The Up Valley Family Center in Lake County provides immediate aid to families who are struggling with large bills such as mortgages, utilities and car payments, as well as providing funds for urgent daily needs such as food, diapers and essentials. The Rotary of Middletown will also receive money to help aid families with severe losses.
In addition to the Valley Fire donation, Larkmead recently raised over $13,000 for the victims, families and congregation of Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina in the Charleston Mayor’s Auction.
