Lakeshore CAP is Celebrating Our Mission in May ♥“Community Action Month”♥
We are here to identify local needs and find solutions to issues that affect low-income persons. Thank you, Governor Evers for recognizing the work we do to improve the lives of our neighbors. See the State of Wisconsin Office of the Governor Proclamation at:
Wisconsin Community Action Month See a list below of Lakeshore Community Action Program’s current programming to assist eligible households in our Wisconsin service area of Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Door and Kewaunee counties.
The need for Community Action has never been greater. Neither has our resolve. We’re challenged to create solutions that don’t just help people stay afloat but build lives of stability, dignity, and, whenever possible, prosperity. And we will rise to that challenge. Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live.
Whether our neighbors are experiencing a temporary set back or have been priced out
of affordable housing – too many struggle to achieve a good quality of life. Despite
America’s economic recovery, nearly 40 million of us are still living in poverty and even more are just one missed paycheck away from hardship. We believe everyone should be
able to take care of their families and have an equal opportunity at success. The nation’s Community Action network – including 1,000 plus Community Action Agencies – are
a robust, national, state, and local force, reaching children and families in 99% of America’s
counties with life changing services that create pathways to opportunity and prosperity.

THROW WITH ALL YOUR HEART
Help Ascend Create Meaningful Experiences for Individuals With Exceptional Abilities!
| We created this fun and exciting event to draw awareness to the needs of our community’s individuals with disabilities.
We have all had a difficult year… but helping to create new and exciting opportunities for others can help us all rebuild – as a community.
That is why Ascend’s “Small Business Sponsors” (UnitedOne Credit Union and Seehafer News) partnered up to put money back into local, small businesses while bringing you exciting prizes.
Host a fundraiser, donate to the cause, support our small businesses . . . and have fun while you do it.
We want to see our entire community come out of this year stronger than ever. And we can only do that together. |
