Through a partnership with Redwood Empire Food Bank, the Lake County Community Action Agency of North Coast Opportunities, Inc. (NCO) will be offering free produce in June, July, and August around Lake County at different dates and locations. The free produce distributions began on June 10, 2016.
Everyone is welcome, and there are no income requirements. You will only be asked for your name and how many adults and children are in your household which will help us seek future funding opportunities.
