As Community Action Month comes to a close, we are proud to share our 2026 Annual Appeal letter and the stories behind the work happening everyday at CAP.

Every dollar donated helps local families facing hardship with housing instability, food security, early childhood education, domestic violence services, employment support and crisis intervention. Together, we can continue creating opportunities, providing hope and strengthening our community.

If you are able, please consider a monetary gift today (scan the QR Code below or donate by check payable to CSCAA and mail to 89 York St., Auburn).

Your support makes a real and immediate difference for our neighbors in need.

Thank you to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their commitment to protecting and strengthening our communities reminds us of the importance of serving others. Here at CAP, we are grateful for the opportunity to be of service by helping individuals and families build brighter futures, made possible by the bravery of those we remember today.

Strong communities are built through strong partnerships.

STRIVE (Statewide Targeted Reductions in Intimate Partner Violence) is a powerful initiative that promotes a coordinated community response rooted in survivor-centered, trauma-informed and culturally competent practices to assist victims and survivors of domestic violence and create accountability for abusive partners.

We are proud to work alongside Cayuga Counseling Services, the Auburn Police Department, Cayuga County Sheriff, Cayuga County Probation and the Cayuga County District Attorney to improve access to resources and support safer outcomes for those impacted by intimate partner violence.
