CAP recognizes that with stability and support, people can develop themselves, engage more deeply, and make the most of the resources available to reach their goals. The Agency offers an end-to-end continuum of services designed to help individuals and families move from crisis to stability to economic security.

News & Events

I enjoy watching children learn and gain the ability to do things for themselves. I feel very fortunate to work with such amazing people, families and children. I truly do love my job and what I do. Coming to work, I know every day will be different and that I will hopefully make a difference in the lives of the children I teach!

Staff

We have finally gotten a chance at a fresh start that we weren't sure would be possible and that has been all thanks to CAP.

Client

I love being part of a team and working with people in the food pantry. There is a lot of flexibility but the key thing for me is feeding people. It is great to see the difference I am making in the community. I just really love what I do.
