ORCCA's Response to the World

E-mail Print PDF

Dear Community Member,

The Board of Oregon Coast Community Action takes its responsibilities very seriously. Our charge is to soberly and actively weight the allegations made against ORCCA, to clarify facts from opinion, and find positive solutions where needed. The Board proposed three action steps to be taken; to create a position for a pantry liaison, to hire a management and communications consultant, and to conduct Board interviews of pantries, ORCCA staff, and community partners.
