Community Action Council

General information

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. Our purpose is to 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 purpose of the CDCAC is to stimulate a better focusing of all available state, local, private, and federal resources to the goal of enabling low-income families and individuals of all ages, in rural and urban areas, to attain the skills, knowledge, and motivation to secure the opportunities for them to become self-sufficient.
