  • The staff is always so nice and helpful. Nice to see a place like this actually care. It's nice. Many in those positions don't really have compassion for those in need. CAC really does.

  • Everyone there is compassionate and professional. They truly care about the residents of Washington County. You are treated as a human being and not a statistic. I recommend WCCAC to anyone I know in need.

  • If you are in need of housing help, a food bank card, free tax filing in April and more this is the place to be. The staff is friendly and knowledgable on where to find the appropriate help.
