CUCINA gives back! Each month we partner
with a local charity to raise awareness. For
every glass, carafe, or bottle of CUCINA
private label wine sold, CUCINA enoteca
will donate $1.
This month’s #sipsupport
is Voices for Children.
Voices for Children transforms the lives of abused
children in San Diego County by providing them with
volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates
(CASAs). The belief that every child deserves a safe
and permanent home, means VFC will
review and monitor every court file in the
system, and will provide a CASA to every
child in the foster care system who needs
one, and advocate to improve the lives of
San Diego County’s foster children. Learn
more at speakupnow.org.
