Community Action Connections - CAC

Community Action Connections (CAC) will be closed tomorrow, June 19, in observance of Juneteenth.

Juneteenth is a day to recognize and celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality in our communities.

Our offices will reopen on Monday, June 22, and we look forward to serving you then.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Juneteenth. ❤️💚🖤

🌞 The temperatures are rising, and we want to remind everyone to stay safe, stay cool, and stay hydrated.

If you need a place to get out of the heat, local cooling centers and community resources are available to help. No one should have to face extreme temperatures alone.

If you need additional support or assistance, call 211 or visit wa211.org to connect with resources in your area.

Please check on your neighbors, older adults, and anyone who may be vulnerable to the heat. A simple phone call or visit can make a big difference.

Stay safe and take care of one another. 💙

High temperatures are here so be sure to stay hydrated and cool. Your local community is here if you need a place to get away from the heat. If you need additional or more long term assistance, please call 211 or visit their website wa211.org.

Yesterday was such a meaningful day. Some of our staff and participants had the opportunity to volunteer at Second Harvest and give back to the community in a beautiful way.

Together, we helped get 620 meals ready and supported 930 pounds of food going out to families in need. Being part of that work reminds us that hope can show up in simple acts of service.

It is more than just food it is care, dignity, and community coming together.

We are so proud of our participants for showing up, serving others, and being part of something bigger. Moments like this remind us that when we give back, we all grow together. 💚

Thank you, Second Harvest, for the amazing work you do and for allowing us to be part of it.
