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.

Our Year End 2011 Audit has arrived!

ORCCA would like to clarify many of the issues raised by the recent media account of our food handling practices. We are committed to following the standards set by our partnership agreement with Oregon Food Bank, which forward on standards set by the USDA, Feeding America, and the state of Oregon. In an attempt to be more transparent in regard to media inquiries about ORCCA and our relations with community partners, ORCCA prepared information for the World Newspaper in response to its requests for information, which we have provided here for your information.
