Community Action Coalition For South Central WI. Inc.

CAC formed in 1966. CAC is a member of the Wisconsin Community Action Program Association (WISCAP), which coordinates all 16 of Wisconsin’s Community Action Agencies. Many anti-poverty programs had their start at CAC, including Head Start and Madison-area community gardens, now run by Community Groundworks.

Today, CAC strives to provide hope, support, and opportunities to our participants. We work to build on the strengths, assets, and capacities of low-income people and communities.
