Avec Community Action is a nonprofit serving
families across Aroostook, Washington and
Hancock counties in Maine. Avec works with individuals, families, and communities to overcome hardship, create opportunities and build futures.
For decades we were ACAP, Aroostook County Action Program. The name said where we worked and what we did, and for a long time it fit. Just over a year ago, things changed. When longtime services in Washington and Hancock counties were at risk we partnered so that families there wouldn’t be left without help, and our reach grew. A name rooted in one county could no longer hold all the places we now call home.
