Huge congratulations to Aldea’s very own CEO, Kerry Ahearn, and board member, Kim Hester‑Williams, on being nominees at last week’s CVNL Awards!
Kim was nominated for the Excellence in Board Leadership Award and Kerry was nominated for the Excellence in Leadership Award.
We’re so proud to stand alongside such dedicated leaders whose commitment to community and service continues to inspire us every day.
Join us for the 2026 Climate-Friendly Garden Tour on Sunday, May 17, 10am-4pm!
Explore water-wise gardens, share ideas, and connect with your neighbors doing this work. Plus, learn from local experts in four workshops:
•Napa Firewise- Firewise Landscaping
•UCMG- Soil Health and Avoiding Invasives
•City of Napa & a local landowner- Cash for Grass from a Homeowner Perspective
Last chance for $5 tickets: May 8! Then, tickets are $10 (or pay $10 cash at the door).
Come celebrate the beauty of water-wise spaces, get inspiration for your own water-wise transition, and learn how to make a difference with advice from the experts!
This year's hub is a new spot for us- Aldea Child & Family Services, right downtown! Their water-wise landscaping isn't what they're *usually* known for, but should be celebrated! We'll have friends there with information- like @ourwaterourworld@napaclimatenow@aldeainc@napafirewise@cityofnapa Water Division, and @ucmastergardenersnapaco ! It'll be a party!
Visit NapaRCD.org/GardenTour2026 for tickets and information

As this month ends, our commitment to child abuse prevention must continue. Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change.
Together, we can help create safer futures for every child—today and every month.
One powerful way to make a difference is by becoming a resource parent and opening your heart and home to a child in need.
For more information, please email [email protected].
Not able to foster right now? You can still help change a child’s life by donating to Aldea and supporting critical programs that protect and uplift children and families.
Every action matters. Every child matters. 💙

As this month comes to an end, a moment is taken to offer deepest gratitude not just for this month but every single day to Aldea’s incredible social workers.
They are thanked for their courage, their compassion, and the unwavering impact they bring to the youth and families in our community. In moments of uncertainty, they are steady hands. In moments of hardship, they are hope. In every interaction, they help create pathways toward healing.
Their work is not always easy, but it is always meaningful. They show up with heart, strength, and a deep commitment to lifting others when they need it most.
At Aldea, the mission is hope and healing and they bring that mission to life in everything they do.
They are seen. They are appreciated. They are endlessly valued.

A heartfelt thank you to the Napa Sunrise Rotary for your generous donation of supplies and for supporting our duffle bag project for foster youth. Your kindness, care, and commitment truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of the youth we serve.
We are also so grateful for the time and energy you devoted to assembling the duffle bags. Your compassion and teamwork helped ensure everything is ready for a youth in need, and we couldn’t have done this without you.
And a very special shoutout to our very own Jessica Silverman, Managing Director, whose amazing coordination and heart brought this entire project to life.
Together, we’re creating hope, comfort, and brighter futures. Thank you all for being part of this mission.
If you’ve ever considered opening your heart and home, now is a wonderful time to learn more about becoming a resource parent. For more information, click the link in our bio or email [email protected]. Your support can change a child’s life in the most meaningful way. 💙
