Community Action's East County Campus

Community Action East County Campus is a public private partnership with Skagit County covering the East County Resource Center and Concrete Community Center. Our unique partnership with Skagit County provides local access to many county services such as tax payments, food handlers permits, voter and election information and Commissioner appointments.

East County Resource Center provides immediate assistance with basic needs and information, and referral to other Community Action programs.  Legal Aid is available two days per month, Energy Assistance includes staff located in the office during the winter, Veteran staff schedule outreach appointments and Center staff provide Critical Needs, Food Access, Information and Referral along with Coordinated Entry intakes.  Additionally, office space is shared with a variety of community partners providing services such as DSHS, WIC and the Department of Corrections.  A Chamber of Commerce office is co-located and provides Department of Licensing services.

Concrete Community Center provides hot meals for seniors and community members experiencing food insecurity.  A nutritious meal is served daily and the food service provides an opportunity for the Fresh Start Kitchen training program to provide basic employment skills and an opportunity to obtain a nationally recognized food safety certificate.  The training program is run in partnership with our Job Skills & Training program.
