About 40 Years of Action

40 Years of Action is our year-long fundraising campaign to commemorate two special 40 year anniversaries at CAVC: our 40th year in our Oxnard headquarters, and the 40th birthday of our wonderful Executive Director, Susy Lopez-Garcia.

40 Years of Action launched at our celebration event on May 20th, where we raised over 30% towards our $40,000 goal. The $40,000 we are raising in 2023 will directly impact community members who rely on our services for support. It will also allow us to make crucial repairs and upgrades to our headquarters to allow our staff to work more comfortably and better serve Ventura County.
