Welcome to Community Action Partnership of Greater St. Joseph
Helping people. Changing lives. Engaging communities to end poverty - since 1965.

Let's talk about poverty. And together, let's end it.

Since its founding in 1965, Community Action Partnership of Greater St. Joseph (CAP St. Joe) has been helping low-income residents of Andrew, Buchanan, Clinton and DeKalb Counties achieve economic sustainability.

Helping people. Changing lives. Every year, over 6,000 people walk through CAP's doors. Each family and individual needs specialized help, and CAP provides help through a variety long-term and short-term strategies, including Head Start, youth programs, utilities assistance, affordable housing and community development.

Engaging communities to end poverty. Our vision is a community that works together to fight poverty. CAP partners with a variety of businesses, social service agencies, government entities, and educational institutions to help change lives, one individual at a time.
