Outreach

Mountain Community Action Program (Mountain CAP) provides outreach services in Bland, Smith and Wythe counties.  Outreach provides the backbone of Mountain CAP's services by providing the link between low-income people and available services. The main objective is to enable low income people to rise above and conquer their poverty situations through temporary assistance, education, and follow-up.

Outreach provides information and referral, crisis intervention, emergency transportation, expedition of services, and limited direct services.   A food and clothing bank is maintained through community donations in each county. Each county administers an emergency fund supported entirely from donations.   Small amounts of assistance with medicine, medical bills, transportation, household bills, food, clothing, fuel, and household goods are given to needy people.
