Our mission is to end poverty by empowering people and improving lives.
Chelan-Douglas Community Action Council is a private not-for-profit corporation primarily serving the residents of Chelan and Douglas Counties. We also serve Okanogan, Grant, Adams, and Lincoln Counties through AmeriCorps Seniors. We assist individuals and families to move out of poverty into a lifestyle that promotes a safer and healthier living environment.
