UCAP is here to help
people and change lives.
United Community Action Partnership (UCAP) has helped bring together people and resources for our neighbors in need. Our mission is to eliminate poverty by empowering individuals and strengthening communities!
We continue to be a grass-roots private nonprofit that is represented and led by the communities it serves with our
27 member Bi-Partisan Board of Directors!
We offer programs in the key areas of Community and Family Services, Head Start, Housing, Tax Preparation, Child Care Programs, Community Projects, Youth Development, and Transportation. These programs are not possible without
the help of our funders, generous donors and volunteers.

There are growing needs in our local communities and
you too, can be a part of the fight against poverty!
