Community Action in Aroostook, Washington and Hancock Counties is a nonprofit organization based in Presque Isle, Maine, founded in 1972 as a 501(c)(3) entity. It serves the three counties by guiding community responses to emerging human needs across prevention and wellness, early care and education, energy and housing, and workforce development. As a regional community action program, it leads or collaborates to provide services that support, empower, and improve lives. Its work focuses on residents, families, and local institutions seeking support in health, education, housing, and employment. Recent developments include the launch of a Mobile Service Unit to expand outreach and a partnership to pursue a comprehensive community school model at Easton Elementary in collaboration with the Town of Easton and the Easton School Department, alongside collaboration with MaineHousing to align state resources with local needs.
