Redwood Community Action Agency

Each year RCAA continues to advance its mission, which is to "provide leadership and advocacy; to develop community-based coordinated services and activities designed to enable low-income/disadvantaged persons to gain the necessary skills, education and motivation to become self-sufficient."
