The Northern California Homebrew Organization (NCHO), the parent organization which puts on the Northern California Homebrewers Festival, is proud to support Lake Francis in their continued support of foster children.

Make A Donation to NCHF
The success of the Northern California Homebrewers Festival depends on generous donations from large and small beer related businesses and individuals. The donations accepted are raffled off the day of the festival and the revenues generated help to keep the cost of admission reasonable and to offset the costs of running the fest. This includes renting the Lake Francis resort, security, insurance, and all other costs related to a successful festival. Raffle proceeds also allow the NCHO to donate to Environmental Alternatives, which is an organization that supports foster children through various activities and is a partner with the Lake Francis Resort.
The NCHO has been partnering with Lake Francis and Environmental Solutions for over 17 years and is proud to provide support for foster children. In 2019 the NCHO donated approximately $3,000 to Environmental Solutions to help send foster kids to camp.
