As our valley grows so does the need for kindness!
After seeing reports in the news on how many of the local homeless shelters and food banks are really hurting right now, the Williamson family and staff decided to collect non-perishable food and personal-care items in lieu of tasting fees during the month of March.
We are calling this promotion “Cultivar Kindness” because we want to encourage people to “grow” kindness in our community. In fact, we specifically chose the Valley Women & Children Shelter, a ministry of the Boise Rescue Mission, because it’s located right here in Canyon County! Valley Shelter is the only emergency shelter for women and children in the Nampa and Western Treasure Valley area. With 66 available beds, their shelter for homeless women and children offers a safe, clean place to sleep, in addition to clothing, meals, and case management.
Guests visiting Williamson Vineyard’s tasting room during the month of March can enjoy one free wine sample* for every non-perishable food or personal-care item they bring in!
*Free samples will be capped at 5 per person.
So come out to the tasting room and sip on delicious wine for a great cause. Just don’t forget to bring your donation!
What can I bring in as a donation?
Non-Perishable Food
- Any Canned Goods
- Especially items that would work in a sack lunch (i.e. granola bars, fruit cups, etc.)
Personal-Care/Hygiene Items
(The shelter accepts products for females and males, as some of the young men that come in with their mother need products too. )
- Hair brushes (The shelter goes through these very fast!)
- Hotel sample shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bar soap
- Tooth brushes and paste (Please no mouth wash with alcohol.)
