Homeowners and renters burned out of their homes and apartments by the Valley Fire have tangible things to worry about--security deposits on rentals while they get back on their feet, furniture, clothing, restocking a kitchen and so much more.

Their burden will be eased a bit by Napa Valley Vintners, a nonprofit trade association, which announced a $250,000 pledge to help fire victims. The money will be administered by UpValley Family Centers.

Following last year’s devastating Napa earthquake, Napa Valley Vintners pledged $10 million to the relief effort.
