Community Action Council is a private, non-profit 501c(3) agency governed by a volunteer Board of Directors representing the public and private sectors of our target population. We have effectively provided essential human services in Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties since 1966. Our multi-purpose organization focuses on meeting the needs of low-income individuals and families through a variety of programs designed to help them become independent and more self-sufficient. The Council continues working collaboratively to develop strategies that address poverty in our communities.

In recognition that poverty impacts all members of our community, the Community Action Council exists to improve the quality of life of all residents of Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties by promoting self-sufficiency, strengthening families and mobilizing community resources toward an elimination of the causes and effects of poverty.
