The glaring thing for Lincoln County is the need to address the coming financial hardships that are plaguing the budget as well as businesses in this county.

Can you believe it’s been one year since the sewer disaster at Food for People? Are you scratching your head wondering how you never heard the story?
On February 28, 2020, hopes, dreams, money, paperwork, food, trash cans, and so much more floated out the front door of Food for People, the Food Bank for Humboldt County, on a river of city sewer water. It was a blow to their operations, especially as COVID-19 found its way to our community, stressing our local economy and food system. But worry not, Food for People rebounded quickly with the use of several leased spaces and has been working fast to distribute emergency foods to people seeking assistance across Humboldt County, including those newly impacted by the pandemic.
