about

Welcome to Willits Community Services and Food Bank, a sanctuary of support and a pillar of resilience for over 38 years in the heart of Willits and the surrounding north county areas. Our organization was founded with the vision of creating a supportive and robust safety net for individuals and families in times of need. While we started as a food bank, our services have expanded to offer far more than just meals. WCS is proud to provide a comprehensive range of essential human services, from food distribution and utility assistance to emergency shelter and transportation. Funded by a blend of state grants, local support, and generous community donations, we have initiated various community drives and programs, including our vital Winter Fund Drive, to sustain and uplift those who count on us.

 

The legacy of our organization was further immortalized with a surge in community contributions following the loss of our former director, Jim Marill. Our dedicated team, led by Executive Director Ruthanne Volz, strives to cultivate an environment of compassion, dignity, and community betterment.

 

Whether you are in need of help or looking to offer it, WCS welcomes you with open arms. Together, we can build a community where everyone has a seat at the table.
