Organizations Filed Purposes:
Helping people of North Central Washington help themselves and each other toward a brighter, healthier future.
Chelan Douglas Community Action Council, established in 1965, is a result of President Lyndon B. Johnston's War on Poverty and from the advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We believe all people should be treated with dignity and respect and recognize that social constructs such as race, gender and poverty continue to create barriers that must be addressed. We believe that with hope and equitable access to adequate resources and opportunities, everyone can reach their fullest potential, and we are committed to achieving that vision. We pledge ourselves to creating an environment that pursues innovation and excellence through multi-sector partnerships and collaboration. Our mission is to end poverty by helping people and changing lives, and we will serve to that end until all people of North Central Washington flourish.
