DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the Ohio Heartland Community Action Commission. We are a multi-service Community Action Agency that offers a variety of services in four counties (Marion, Crawford , Morrow, Richland) in North Central Ohio.

The Commission is governed by a tri-partite Board of Directors representing all four counties. OHCAC operates a variety of programs including Head Start/Early Head Start in Marion, Crawford, Morrow and Richland Counties; the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) in Marion Crawford, and Morrow Counties; Community Centers in Marion, Crawford and Morrow Counties; a food pantry in Crawford County; personal needs pantries in Marion and Morrow Counties; the Home Weatherization Assistance Program (HWAP) in Marion, Crawford, and Morrow Counties; a Low Income Home Water Assistance program (LIHWAP) in Marion, Crawford and Morrow Counties; and the United Community Rx program in Marion County. The Commission also operates many individual county-specific programs that will be presented and explained on this site.

It is our hope to provide you with the necessary information about the services and programs available at OHCAC. The motto of Community Action is Helping People, Changing Lives. It is our goal to provide needed information for those seeking assistance. OHCAC provides a myriad of services directly and it works in partnership with many local service providers to assist customers.

We are here to assist you.

Sincerely,

Andrew “Joe” Devany
