Worcester Community Action Council

Founded in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty, Worcester Community Action Council (WCAC) is one of 1,000 community action agencies across the U.S. and 23 in Massachusetts created to address disparities throughout the nation. WCAC embodies service to the community through their mission of helping people move to economic selfsufficiency through programs, partnerships, and advocacy. WCAC’s Head Start program seeks to ensure the healthy development and proper growth of these children living in vulnerable situations. Fundación MAPFRE partnered with WCAC’s Head Start Program to support their nutritional program, which benefits all of the children within WCAC’s Head Start Program, providing them with breakfast, lunch and snacks throughout the day, in addition to classes and advice to help them develop healthy habits.
