About Us


The Arcata Endeavor Public Benefit Non Profit and a United Way agency. For over 32 years Arcata Endeavor has served the poor in the City of Arcata.  Since 1999 Arcata Endeavor has provided supportive and essential services from its present location at the Arcata Service Center (ASC). Services have expanded substantially in response to the needs of the poor among the local community. 
 
To meet the needs among the local population, we offer Back to Basics (BtB), a work-readiness program and Comprehensive Recovery Services (CRS) for those in need of mental health support and/or substance abuse treatment. Arcata Endeavor offers essential human services including; operation of the local Food Pantry, augmented by fresh produce and bread; our Hot Meal service feeding those in need who are participants in our training or recovery programs, including seniors, disabled, and poor families, shower and laundry facilities; basic communications services such as telephone, voice mail use, mail service and internet access for those participating in employment readiness services.
