Feeding Humboldt's Hungry

Arcata House Partnership copes with pandemic restrictions to join other non-profits in feeding Humboldt’s hungry.

In a March 11, 2021 North Coast Journal article, “Feeding Humboldt's Hungry,” Elaine Weinreb reports on local organizations working to feed the hungry in Humboldt County despite the challenges of the current pandemic, including Arcata House Partnership:

“Darlene Spoor, Executive Director of the Arcata House Partnership, which provides a multitude of social services for needy Arcatans, said her agency has also been severely impacted.

‘We have not been able to use volunteers and that has impacted us,’ she said. ‘The cost of serving food in individual servings has been astronomical. We have more clients than ever before. An astronomical increase.’

Spoor said she's grateful for all those in the community have stepped in to lend their support.

‘When the restaurants first started closing, they donated thousands of pounds of food that we were able to use to feed people,’ she said. ‘It is just amazing the way the community has come forth to support us.’”
