Welcome to our website and this center of information for the Racine Kenosha Community Action Agency. I am pleased to serve as the Chief Executive Officer for the agency. This organization is engaged in an anti-poverty strategy for community change. That is a huge task and bold statement but we are working to develop into a strong organization through self improvement, partnership, reflection and committment. These are challenging times for Racine and Kenosha, it is more important than ever that our programs focus on customer service, delivering quality and ensuring that we are efficient in the provision of our services. We also want to learn from and work with our program participants and community residents, policy makers and stakeholders to promote healthier communities for all of us, but in particular the most vulnerable of our community.
