Who Are We?
South Central Iowa Community Action Program provides services to approximately 4,000 people every year. We are the Community Action Agency for Clarke, Decatur, Lucas, Monroe and Wayne Counties in Iowa. We were founded in 1965 to serve our local community needs.
For decades, we have helped hard-working Americans improve their own lives.
Today, South Central Iowa Community Action Program, continues to serve its original purpose-helping aspirational working families become self-sufficient.
The Agency is led by a fifteen-member volunteer Board of Directors, and we have a staff of about 80 great people.

Patty, I wanted to message you for a while now and let you know how much of an impact you had on my life during my time in FaDSS years ago. I was in a horrible DV relationship and would see you often. I am finally away from there and have been for quite some time. Your help influenced me to graduate and be a police officer and eventually led me to be a social worker helping victims of abuse and getting parents and children into safer environments. I went back to school this past year and I’m getting a master’s degree in counseling. All of these years have passed, and I will never forget the time and effort you spent with me. It took years for me to finally leave but I did it and I have a beautiful family. I just wanted to tell you how much impact you have had on my life and the outcome I have now.

Let me take this minute to express my deep appreciation for the efforts of your Outreach Coordinator and Weatherization Auditor. A new furnace was installed in my home. The careful inspection of the furnace and gas lines ensured a safe economical operation. The inspection revealed a gas leak at the gas meter. The gas company was immediately notified and arrived the next morning to repair the leak in the gas line. Let me register my deep gratefulness of your careful work in the inspection process and helping me to get a new furnacce. Your work made the house more comfortable for living.
