Southwest Michigan Community Action Agency (SMCAA) exists to assist people in economic need and enable them to achieve and sustain self-sufficiency while respecting their diversity.
In order to accomplish the mission, we will establish, coordinate and carry out programs to promote the health , education and welfare of Michigan residents with particular emphasis on low-income residents of Berrien, Cass and Van Buren counties. These programs include, but are not limited to; the provision and repair of affordable meals and food substances for persons qualifying for assistance in their homes or gathering places, and other educational programs and any other activity designed to provide for the well-being, education and self-sufficiency of the population. Operating programs requires us to apply for, receive, administer and disburse federal, state, local and private funds as well as form partnership with government and private entities sharing our purpose.
