Causes We Support
We at Hook & Ladder Vineyards and Winery are proud to be a part of the amazing fabric that makes Sonoma County one of the most amazing places on earth. Our Community has shown an unwavering support for us over the years and our ownership and staff enjoys nothing more than the opportunity to give back. We know that there are so many people and organizations doing wonderful things and trying to find solutions and support for the challenges we face and those in need. Though we cannot support every important cause, our goal is to partner with as many meaningful 501c3 organizations as possible. We have started an initiative of scheduled partnerships with a different impactful non-profit every month of the year. We build targeted campaigns and events to support the goals of giving back to the community we love.

We have been responding to the immediate needs of people seeking help through the provision of healthy food and nutrition education. We pursue long-term solutions to food insecurity through public policy and the development of partnerships with civic, faith-based, corporate and government organizations and, most importantly, individuals in our community.
SFM aligns restaurants with their own community, making our approach truly local. We believe that there is a special bond between chefs and their communities, and want to reinforce that. So, we do our best to have restaurants in the Sonoma Valley serve the Sonoma Valley, Healdsburg serve Healdsburg and so on. We also know that its best practice for our food and our environment to transport our meals in as little time and with as little unneeded fuel as possible.
Our mission at Countryside Rescue is to rescue abandoned, homeless animals and place them into permanent, stable, loving forever homes.
Our goal is to help reduce the number of homeless animals, assist in reducing the number of unaltered animals in the community and increase responsible pet ownership.
