Overview
Mission
The mission of chelan douglas community action council is to end poverty by empowering people and improving lives.
What it reported doing in 2024
Other program services since its founding nearly 60 years ago, the purpose of cdcac has remained remarkably unchanged: help residents of chelan and douglas counties access resources that will alleviate conditions of poverty and empower themselves into safer and healthier lifestyles and greater self-sufficiency. In 2024, cdcac assisted 30,932 people-addressing multiple community needs. Cdcac identifies the root causes of poverty, the needs of the economically and socially disadvantaged in the region, and coordinates with other social service organizations; education, health and government agencies; and businesses to provide resources that fill those needs. As part of that work, cdcac seeks to educate the entire community about the challenges faced by low-income households and the root caused of poverty in the community. People and communities thrive when they have the resources, social relationships, and opportunities that build strong well-being. When well- being is unstable, social stresses like graduating from school or having an aging parent who needs care can be catastrophic. While people with sufficient support can weather the storm, people without enough support may struggle to do so.
