3/1/03 Merger with
Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurston Counties
Effective 3/1/03, Monarch Children's Justice & Advocacy Center is a program
of the Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurston Counties.
The merger was approved by the boards of both agencies and will result in
lower administrative costs for MCJAC, a stronger fiscal base for MCJAC and
opportunities for expanded services for both agencies.
Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurston Counties is a private,
non-profit agency with a 43+ year history of providing services to low- and
moderate-income individuals and families in the three county area.
Services include Energy Assistance, Weatherization, Commodity Food
Distribution, WIC, First Steps Case Management and other services designed
to assist people to meet basic needs.
There
will be no visible change to the public, as Monarch's location, partnerships
and program services will remain the same as before the merger. The
most notable change will be in a reduction of overhead expenses and
increased opportunities for partnership through the Council's various programs.
All funds designated by donors to Monarch will remain dedicated to that
program.
For
more information about this merger, please contact John Walsh, CEO, Community Action Council of Lewis, Mason & Thurson Counties at (360) 438-1100. |
