The Community Action Program Corporation is a non-profit community based organization that serves both Washington and Morgan County, Ohio. It is the product of over 40 years of caring. In the 1960s, community leaders began meeting to assess local needs and determine a way to meet them. The Community Action Program of Washington-Morgan Counties was incorporated in 1967 and Anthony Mele, founding ex
ecutive director, obtained funding for a family service center and outreach program, the first family planning program in the state of Ohio, and a full-year Head Start program. With these funds, Washington-Morgan Community Action began its long-standing commitment to the underserved individuals and families living in both counties. Our world has changed since 1967. Washington-Morgan Community Action has been responding to changing conditions by adding services to meet the expectations of the community. Today, Washington-Morgan Community Action provides an array of over 50 quality services from healthcare to delivery of meals throughout both Washington and Morgan Counties. Washington-Morgan Community Action has grown from modest beginnings to a major employer and service provider. The organization is truly dedicated to helping people help themselves.
