In-Kind Donations
In addition to supporting TRCNB financially, we are always looking for bulk donations of quality products that can be used in the classroom. We accept new and gently used office and school supplies. Not only are these useful to our teachers and students, but we are doing our part to reduce our county’s carbon imprint by recycling, repurposing and reusing these donated materials.

Dine and Donates
We have an average of 6 Dine and Donates per year. It is an easy way to support our teachers and students with an evening out for dinner or takeout if you are on the run. We average approximately $200 per event.
Tinfoil Project
The idea centers on the concept of recycling tin capsules from wine bottles, recycling caps and necks of wine bottles that are made exclusively of tinfoil. TRCNB receives ~ $9-10 per pound and in 2021 alone we made over $6,500 thanks to all the wineries who saved tinfoil for us. Here is a LIST of those wineries currently participating in this project.
If you are interested we will supply a collection bucket for your staff to use to recycle all of the tin from the neck of each bottle. Our volunteers will collect the donations and deliver to a local recycling business. We will use the cash to purchase school supplies which we make available to all Napa County public school teachers twice a year. If you would like to join us contact Sue Hill at nomofex@gmail.com.
