Imagine you are a child who finds yourself in court; the victim of abuse or neglect... in the company of a judge, attorneys, social workers... all strangers. You are scared; your world has been turned upside down. You are alone.

This is the reality abused children face all the time. Far too many children have never slept in a warm bed, had clean clothes to wear, nutritious food to eat, or someone to hug. That's where CASA comes in. We provide one-to-one advocacy to help prevent children from "falling through the cracks."

You have the time. You have the heart. You can give a powerful voice to a needy child in Humboldt County.Our trained volunteers advocate for abused children in court, assuring that they are placed in safe, nurturing homes where they will flourish. We speak for children who would otherwise have no voice, giving unconditional love, ensuring that each child receives the needed services to heal.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) speaks for children in court because all children have a right to live in a safe, healthy and secure environment.

Most of all, CASA needs you to be a child's advocate. We also offer other volunteer opportunities. If you are not currently able to volunteer your time, please consider becoming a CASA supporter.

Hunger is a reality for 1 in 6 Americans.  These are often hard working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days. Most of us simply have no idea.

Food for People has been providing emergency and supplemental food for Humboldt County residents in need since 1979. Our mission is to eliminate hunger and improve the health and well-being of our community. But we can’t do it without your support and donations.

Call us at (707) 445-3166 for more information on donating funds or food. You can also contact us at volunteer@foodforpeople.org to find out about our many volunteer opportunities.

We can always use donations of funds for our local disaster relief fund. 

These monies are used to provide emergency shelter, food, clothing and sometimes medicines and other needed supplies to people whose homes have been lost to disaster. We also need people who are interested in joining us to be trained as a volunteer on our Disaster Action Teams throughout the County.
