The FRC of the Redwoods provides services that support and nurture families in Del Norte County. 

We provide a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment

to strengthen and support healthy relationships

for children and families in Del Norte County.

A part of this work, through the Community Food Council for Del Norte and Tribal Lands (DNATL), is ensuring that our community has access to healthy, wholesome foods.

The DNATL Community Food Council mission is to build a vibrant local food system that provides affordable, healthy food to all families in Del Norte and Tribal Lands.


DNATL CFC goals are to: 



Increasing  food security & access to fresh vegetables and fruit








Increase our local food economy







Shift eating habits through education & access to nutritious and culturally appropriate foods.







Our organization operates Pacific Pantry, a choice-based food pantry located at the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods. Please check out our fundraising campaign for the Pacific Pantry. This holiday season we are asking our community to gift a family a meal and help stock the pantry with nutritious foods throughout the holiday and beyond. 








We  partnered with the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation to develop four food forest sites across DNATL and help to manage the Crescent City and Klamath Food Forest sites.






Since our founding in 2010, we have:

  • Organized numerous cooking and gardening workshops
  • Created local celebrations of Food Day
  • Supported school and community gardens
  • Promoted local foods, farmers, and farmers markets
  • Facilitated Del Norte’s Emergency Food and Shelter Program funding stream
  • Brought Market Match funding to Del Norte’s farmers markets
  • Helped to expand Del Norte County Unified School District’s Seamless Summer Meals program 



Our meetings are open to all and are held at the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods, at 494 Pacific Avenue in Crescent City from 5:30-7:00 once a month. All DNATL community members are welcome and dinner is always provided. For upcoming meetings dates please check out website.
