A LETTER FROM OUR CEO

Greetings,

Thank you,

The last twelve months have been a period of tremendous growth at HACAP. We expanded our service area by adding three northern counties, previously served by Operation New View Community Action Agency – Dubuque, Delaware, and Jackson. In addition to the community action programs, we also were awarded funding to provide Head Start services in that three county area.

As the COVID-19 Pandemic continued to affect our lives, more families were being impacted financially and the demand for our services increased. Not only did we see returning families come back for assistance, but families who had never before reached out for assistance were coming to us to get help. Last year we served 16,400 households, more than the previous year. I am proud to say that we rose to the occasion, identified needs in the community, mobilized our resources and delivered new programs to meet the needs of fragile families.

Our team members and volunteers work so diligently to provide impactful services to our clients, delivering them with dignity and respect. You are a very resilient force and are what makes HACAP the wonderful organization that it is.

Thank you to each and every one of you - you are champions! I look forward to the future and the great opportunities we can offer to the families and communities we serve!

Jane Drapeaux Chief Executive Officer
