Mission Statement
The mission of Community Action Partnership is to enhance the quality of life in Orange County by eliminating and preventing the causes and effects of poverty by mobilizing and directing resources to programs that assist, educate and promote self-sufficiency.
About This Cause
Founded in 1964, the Community Action Partnership of Orange County began with the Board of Supervisors, faith-based and community leaders who saw poverty rising in affluent Orange County in the early 1960’s and the lack of resources to deal with the root causes. They formed the Community Action Council and designated to receive the Community Services Block Grant funding. Over the years, this agency has created Orange County Head Start, Legal Aid Society, Women’s Transitional Living Center, Pacific Asian Center for Employment, Neighborhood Youth Corp, Anaheim Independencia Community Center, Community Mobile Health Clinic, Community Mentor Partnership of Orange County, First Things First Coalition, Orange County Hunger Coalition and many other programs. Today, Community Action Partnership of Orange County has over 100 employees and a budget of over $15,000,000 to help people and change lives. We provide and mobilize resources to help people help themselves, provide safety-net services for those who need help, and work with community leaders to bring solutions to community problem and build stronger and healthy communities. We serve persons at or below the federal poverty level.
