Mission Statement
The mission of Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council is to connect low- to moderate- income residents to resources which create opportunities to reach and maintain self-sufficiency. Our purpose is to facilitate federal, state, and local resources and engage local communities and businesses in meeting the needs and interests of the economically disadvantaged.
Description
Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council was created in 1965 as part of America's War on Poverty. We are a private not-for-profit corporation serving the residents of Chelan and Douglas Counties. We assist individuals and families to move out of poverty into a lifestyle that promotes a safer and healthier living environment, leading to self-sufficiency. Community Action Council works with other social service agencies, public agencies, community organizations, businesses and churches to coordinate services.
