When California issued a Shelter in Place Order, some Nevada County residents quickly saw a need for information on local food pickup and delivery options.

A month into the crisis, a group of these innovators have come together to pool resources and create a one-stop shop for COVID-19 business information. The new website, NevadaCounty.Community-Need.com is your central online resource to find Western Nevada County businesses offering products and services during California's Shelter in Place order.
