About Us

Established in 1965 as part of the Economic Opportunity Act, Community Action leads the way to eliminate conditions of poverty and create opportunities for people and communities to thrive. As a private nonprofit serving Washington County, over 31,000 residents access the organization's programs and services annually. We believe that when families can see a vision for their future and have access to the right services at the right time, they have the ability to successfully transition out of poverty.
