The North Valley Community Foundation has launched Thrive, an initiative focused on emotional healing for children, families and individuals after the Camp Fire and other local crises. NVCF has committed more than $2 million for this new initiative.
“Our commitment since Nov. 8, 2018, has been to help and support our communities’ lasting recovery and healing from the devastating effects of the Camp Fire,” said Alexa Benson-Valavanis, president and CEO. “We’ve worked tirelessly to bring about a health and wellness initiative to meaningfully address the pain and suffering our community members are still experiencing.”
“In the midst of a global pandemic, another deadly wildfire in our county and repeated traumatic community events,” said Danelle Campbell, Thrive program director, “the need to come together to explore healing, resilience and collective impact could not be more critical to the health and well-being of our community.”
