Today we pause to honor the life and legacy of Congressman Doug LaMalfa. Our hearts are with his family, staff, and all who were impacted by his service.

For communities across Northern California, Congressman LaMalfa was more than a representative. He was a steadfast advocate in moments of crisis. In the aftermath of devastating wildfires, floods, and other disasters, he worked tirelessly to secure immediate financial relief for families and communities while also championing long-term solutions focused on prevention, infrastructure, water access, and wildfire resilience.

At Northern Valley Catholic Social Service, our Disaster Recovery team saw firsthand the impact of his leadership. His commitment to policy, funding, and regional recovery efforts helped strengthen the resources available to survivors and supported the work of organizations on the ground who walk alongside families rebuilding their lives.

We are grateful for Congressman LaMalfa’s dedication to the people of the North State and for the lasting difference his service has made in the lives of those we serve.

Rest in peace, and thank you for standing with our communities when it mattered most.

This is what happens when a community comes together with open hearts. ✨❤️

Through the generosity of supporters across our region, NVCSS Adopt a Family served more than 250 families and nearly 900 children across Butte, Shasta, Tehama, and Trinity Counties. Families will be opening presents and feeling supported this Christmas because our community chose to show up and give.

This would not be possible without the incredible businesses, families, and individuals who stepped in. A special thank you to RAD Studio Architecture, FemFit Redding, and Ferris Wheel Kids for leading with generosity and making a meaningful difference for local families.

Thank you for helping make the season brighter for so many. ✨🎄

Northern Valley Catholic Social Service is honored to recognize Monsignor Russell Terra, Father Michael Kiernan, and the late Deacon Michael Evans as our 2025 Caritas Award recipients.

In the Catholic tradition, caritas means love in action. These founding leaders embodied that spirit through their faith, compassion, and commitment to serving others. Their vision helped lay the foundation for NVCSS and continues to guide our mission today.

With deep gratitude, we honor their lasting legacy and love in action across our communities. 💙
