CAC continues to monitor and adjust services based upon best practice and guidance from Public Health, the CDC and the World Health Organization. Continued client service at the highest level while keeping clients and staff safe is our number one priority.

Staff are able to provide most services via phone, telehealth platforms, email, and even mail drops for paperwork, as well as face-to-face appointments for emergent needs. Services continue to be offered in Energy, Housing, COVID19 Emergency fund, and WIC in these varieties of ways. We understand these are challenging times, and continue to offer assistance in whatever way possible.

Plans on reopening to the public are in the works, and we will provide updates as soon as possible. The future of our services may look different than before, but we are more committed than ever to ensuring Community Action Council serves our community in the best way possible.
