The Blackstone Valley Community Action Program (BVCAP) mission is to transform, educate, and empower the community and our clients to gain greater self-sufficiency, through valued programs and services, with compassion and empathy. Our programs are funded through federal, state and local grants and through the generosity of individuals, foundations and corporations
Each year BVCAP serves over 22,000 families living in Pawtucket, Central Falls, Cumberland, Lincoln and Woonsocket. Our staff of over forty people reflects the ethnic diversity of our community, enabling us to be sensitive to our clients’ culture and language, and to provide them with the best possible support.
Many of the important programs and services BVCAP provides would not be available without the generosity of the local community.
