What does West Central Missouri Community Action Agency do?
When people who live rural areas don’t have enough income, access to helpful opportunities can be limited. WCMCAA connects residents in rural West Central Missouri to help with employment, food, housing, transportation, utility bills, and more, so they have choices as the create the success they envision for themselves and their families.
What does New Growth do?
Additionally, there are extra challenges to starting and growing a business in rural communities. New Growth connects both farm and non-farm entrepreneurs with information and resources they may not know about so more businesses succeed here, creating jobs and strengthening our communities.
