The Rhode Island Community Action Association is a statewide network of Community Action Programs (CAP agencies) who, for over forty years, have been the safety net for economically disadvantaged and working poor families.

We are committed to empowering individuals and families to help themselves, as we have for over forty years.

We understand the root causes of poverty, and continue to be steadfast in our commitment to helping people and changing lives in all of Rhode Island Communities.
