For 50 years, we’ve been providing enhanced independence and empowerment to people with disabilities by providing service dogs at no cost. This life-changing mission is all possible because of our generous and dedicated volunteers who believe in making an impactful difference. Thank you to every volunteer across the country – and our community is eager to grow, as we continue to lead the service dog industry in the decades to come.
St. Francis Winery & Vineyards continues its generous support of Canine Companions through the For the Love of Dogs and Great Wine campaign. From now until December 31, 2025, $1 from every bottle of St. Francis wine purchased in the U.S. will be donated to Canine Companions, with a goal of raising up to $100,000. Cheers to making a meaningful impact with every bottle!
Don’t miss out on attending our milestone events happening across the country! Come join and celebrate with our clients, volunteers and community supporters as we look back at our journey, as well as look forward to the future.
