Our Vision

Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC) envisions just and inclusive communities where all people thrive, free from the oppression of poverty.

Our Mission

BMAC collaborates with our partners to equitably deliver services and support to our neighbors experiencing poverty. Together, we strengthen and build stable and thriving communities.

Helping People, Changing Lives

As a Community Action Agency, BMAC is part of a nationwide network of people committed to helping people and changing lives.

Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are nonprofit private and public organizations established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to fight America's War on Poverty. Community Action Agencies help people to help themselves in achieving prosperity. There are approximately 1,000 Community Action Agencies serving the poor in every state as well as Puerto Rico and the Trust Territories. Washington State has 30 CAAs.

CAAs address causes of poverty, not the symptoms, which means CAAs work to ensure their community offers everyone opportunities to become economically secure, and invests in individuals and their families who are striving to develop skills.

The Promise of Community Action

A proud member of the Community Action Network, BMAC is committed to upholding the promise of Community Action: 

Community Action changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
