• Ukiah's North Coast Opportunities is letting go of program after program • The Mendocino Voice (mendovoice.com) — Major cutbacks at Ukiah-based North Coast Opportunities are rippling through Mendocino County, affecting services that have included programs reaching District 3 communities like Covelo. Cancer patients have lost the Caring Kitchen meal program, a long-running community garden is closing, and local leaders say these decisions came with little transparency or community input, leaving big gaps in support and many unanswered questions.
