About OREGON COAST COMMUNITY ACTION
Who is ORCCA?
OREGON COAST COMMUNITY ACTION (OR-CCA), is a private non-profit organization-501(c)(3) created in 1965 as the Community Action Committee, Inc in 1965 to serve the Southern Oregon Coast. The current name was adopted in 2006. ORCCA provides cost effective joint administration, leadership, and support for children's programs and emergency services on the Southern Oregon Coast.
