When President Lyndon Johnson began the "War on Poverty" in 1964 his goal was to provide the opportunity for every American to enjoy the benefits of the nation’s "Great Society."
As part of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, a network of local organizations, known as Community Action Agencies, have pioneered programs which have lifted millions out of the shadow of poverty by "giving a hand, not a handout."
While much has been accomplished, the struggle to provide all citizens with the opportunity to work and the opportunity to live in decency and dignity continues.
In central Wisconsin, CAP Services has been on the frontline of the war on poverty since 1966.
As a private, non-profit corporation, CAP offers programs in Marquette, Outagamie, Portage, Waupaca and
Waushara.
