Welcome
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.
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.
Our goal is to make the entire community more responsive to the needs and interests of the low-income population by mobilizing resources and bringing about greater institutional sensitivity.
