Welcome home Sonoma County. We are incredibly, unspeakably, grateful to the first responders who worked tirelessly to keep the Kincade Fire from spreading further and who are now able to welcome so many of our neighbors home. As many of our neighbors return safely home, we grieve for those families who have lost so much. We are also uncomfortably aware of the trauma that has re-surfaced for many.
Recovery is a years long process and it takes dedicated financial support. Thank you for your support.
