Greta spoke with Darlene Spoor, the Executive Director of the Arcata House Partnership about all the meaningful services they provide Humboldt County. KHUM chose the Arcata House Partnership as our 2023 recipient of the Stop The Violence campaign funds because a lack of resources afforded to people experiencing homelessness and crisis is an act of violence, especially during this wet, cold winter and spring. KHUM proudly presents them with a check for $1280 and is using this opportunity to get the word out about the good work they do in the community. Find out how you can connect with services if you need them or opportunities to give back if you have the time or funds at arcatahouse.org
