NEK-CAP, Inc. Community Action Month and 60 Years of Service

The Community Action Network is a robust state and local force that helps empower hardworking families to achieve economic independence rather than keeping them reliant on government assistance. There are nearly 1,000 agencies across the country working every day to create economic opportunity, strengthen local communities, and help families find pathways to prosperity. This year, NEK-CAP, Inc., a proud member of the Community Action Network, commemorates 60 years of helping families throughout our 16-county service area in Northeast/North Central Kansas (Atchison, Brown, Doniphan, Jackson, Jefferson, Jewell, Leavenworth, Marshall, Mitchell, Nemaha, Osborne, Pottawatomie, Republic, Riley, Shawnee, Smith, and Washington Counties).
