Thanks to Cascade Mall

and their

"Get Together and Give" Program

Skagit County Community Action Agency expresses our sincere thanks to Cascade Mall and their “Get Together and Give” Program, for their innovative project to benefit individuals and families accessing Community Action services!

Cascade Mall’s “Get Together and Give” Program created “goodie bags” containing toiletries and other basic necessities for our clients most in need.  Not only did our families at our Family Development Center benefit, but many of our clients accessing critical needs services as well.  These personal care kits supplied families and individuals with care items they are often unable to afford, as food benefit programs do not cover expenses for non-food items.

During these uncertain economic times, Community Action strives to provide quality support and services to our friends and neighbors in need.  We couldn’t do this without the support of donors like Burlington’s Cascade Mall, and we thank them for their continued advocacy and involvement with Community Action!

With Sincere Thanks,

Thanks to Group Health Cooperative's Continuing Support!

Skagit County Community Action Agency expresses heartfelt thanks to Group Health Cooperative Northwest District’s staff and Foundation, for their continuing support of our programs and services.

Group Health has been an involved and generous supporter of Community Action’s annual community event – this year to be held on July 16^th honoring 30 years of service in Skagit County.  Group Health not only has sponsored this event for the past two years, but also participates by bringing a display for children, and staff who graciously volunteer their time.  Additionally, Group Health helped us close out our year with a bang, making a gift benefiting our Family Development Center.

During these uncertain economic times, Community Action strives to provide quality support and services to our friends and neighbors in need.  We couldn’t do this without the support of donors like Group Health Cooperative Northwest District, and we thank them for their continued advocacy and involvement with Community Action!

With sincere thanks,

A Big Thanks to the United Way of Skagit County!

Community Action extends its warm appreciation to the United Way of Skagit County, for their recent support of two essential programs for our agency – our Critical Needs programming and our 2009 Low-Income Needs Assessment.

Community Action provides emergent needs to our friends and neighbors in crisis through our Critical Needs program.  Often times, people are seeking solutions to barriers with housing, employment, food access, health care access or transportation.  Critical Needs, a program where every dollar donated directly benefits clients, can help address the needs of those in our community in emergency situations.

Every four years, Community Action conducts a Low-Income Needs Assessment, which effectively informs us of the most critical and overlooked needs of the clients we serve.  It allows our agency to better provide services and programming, in order to most efficiently reach those friends and neighbors in Skagit County who are underserved. 

It would be impossible for Community Action to provide continued services without the support of our friends and partners in the community like the United Way.  The United Way of Skagit County’s gift makes a measurable difference to the families we serve, and allows us to continue our mission of helping people and changing lives.  

With sincere thanks,
