RRVCA IS CLOSED EFFECTIVE 8/15/25

The Board of Directors of Red River Valley Community Action (RRVCA), a nonprofit organization committed to supporting low-income individuals and families in achieving economic self-sufficiency, has made the difficult decision to close daily operations effective August 15, 2025.

As part of this transition, the majority of staff will be laid off as of that date. This decision follows an extensive internal review and careful consideration of significant financial and operational challenges faced by the organization.

As a Board we are deeply grateful to our dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners who have supported RRVCA’s mission over the years. The organization has had a meaningful and lasting impact across our service region, and we honor the contributions of everyone who made that possible.

The Board recognizes the impact of this decision on clients, staff, and the broader community, and is committed to maintaining transparency throughout this transition. Additional updates will be provided as further information becomes available.
