2022 marks the 58th year since the Community Action Network was established to help American families and communities overcome obstacles to poverty. This year, NCO, a proud member of the Community Action Network, will also commemorate 54 years helping families throughout Mendocino and Lake Counties, as well as parts of Humboldt, Del Norte, Sonoma, Solano and Napa Counties. 

The report summarizes NCO’s community action work over the past year. The report is also available in Spanish! 

The Greening Lake County project planted more than 500 trees and nearly 100 native plants to help restore the land, livability, and beauty of Lake County after years of devastating fires.

Good Farm Fund, a fiscally sponsored project of North Coast Opportunities, awarded eight grants to Mendocino and Lake County farms for fire readiness and resilience. 

On March 18th, NCO Building Homes, Building Lives (BHBL) graduated its 5th cohort of participants. In a small ceremony at NCO's Olympic Drive offices in Clearlake, the three graduates received a certificate of completion, letter of recommendation, power tools, and the highly-coveted BHBL sweatshirt. 

Each year, one organization is recognized by Community Alliance with Family Farmers for their “proven commitment to local food, sustainability, and supporting family farmers by forging strong and equitable partnerships between the farm and plate.”
