Super-Fun Lunchbreak at NCO!


Such a beautiful day for an Open House in the NCO courtyard! Great to meet, greet, and talk with local community members and tell them all about community gardens, nutrition classes, and Farm2Fork success stories. We sold some beautiful Gardens Project t-shirts and blended up some pedal-powered smoothies. Special thanks to Sid Harper of the Savings Bank for being our first ever guy in a business suit to ride the smoothie bike!


In addition to the exciting things going on in NCO Community Action’s group of projects, all of NCO’s programs were out on display at today’s Open House. Did you know NCO works to build healthy, vibrant, compassionate, and strong communities through…

·         a Foster Grandparent program that places retired “grandparents” in local classrooms...

·         a Volunteer Network that connects volunteers with organizations who need them in Lake and Mendocino County...

·         the Leadership Mendocino program that brings leaders together to enhance their leadership skills and to expand their networking connections…

·         the Rural Communities Childcare program that supports working parents with daycare costs…

·         the Head Start program that provides excellent education for local preschoolers…

·         and MORE!
