Wright County Community Action (WCCA) was founded and has been in continuous service to the community since 1965. We are a private, 501(c)3 non-profit corporation and the designated Community Action Agency serving residents of Wright County. We also administer Head Start services in the western 1/3 of Hennepin County.
Over the course of our 58 years in this community, we’ve actively pursued our mission through a range of programs that target safe housing, hunger, nutrition, education, energy assistance, and a variety of other services that promote economic independence for people with low incomes.
We strive to address economic disadvantage and community development with a multifaceted approach that individually confronts each challenge faced by low-income families. At our core, we strive to help the people we serve, build a path to a brighter, more secure future, and we’re constantly looking for new ways to serve through innovative programs and community partnerships.
If you or someone you know is in need of one of our programs, please let us know. We’d love to see what we can do to help.
