Community Action of Ramsey and Washington Counties

Partnering with People to Overcome Poverty

CAPRW Does MORE

At Community Action Partnership of Ramsey & Washington Counties (Community Action), we work alongside our neighbors, program participants, and partners like YOU to create a future in which all people can achieve their potential. We provide a foundation for stability and success through programs that serve low-income people. We amplify the voices of those living in poverty by educating the broader community about the support and assistance that is needed. We transform communities by collaborating with other agencies and policy-makers to remove barriers that perpetuate poverty. Our Board of Directors is unique--fully one third of its members live low-income lives--ensuring that first hand experience drives our work.

Last year, Community Action worked with thousands of people across the region to support low-income individuals and families. This work included:

• Providing 1,391 children with comprehensive early childhood education through Head Start
• Preventing homelessness for 332 individuals with emergency rent or mortgage assistance
• Delivering Energy Assistance to 52,525 people and averting utility shut-off for 27,000 households
• Improving conditions in which low-income families live by weatherizing 76 homes
• Hosting volunteers who completed 6,087 hours of service in their community

YOU make an instrumental difference in Community Action's ability to collaborate with people to overcome poverty.  YOUR support makes it possible for Community Action to DO MORE--thank you!
