New Office Hours & Days Open

Due to the severe County budget cuts, we are now CLOSED ON FRIDAYS and during the noon hour.

Hours of operation are: Monday - Thursday 8 - 1 PM

Cooperative Extension in Contra Costa is threatened by the County’s financial crisis. As of mid-June, the county has found only half the funds needed to keep us open for the coming year.
