While some programs serve a wider area, the main service area is the southern panhandle area of Nebraska. The agencies’ programs impact hundreds of lives daily through their dedicated work.

Community Action Partnership of Western Nebraska’s home office and community health center are located in Gering. The agency holds a 501(C) (3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service and is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of community leaders, low-income representatives and elected officials.

We want a community where everyone, regardless of income, has an opportunity to access health, housing, and education.

As a Community Action Partnership our goal is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by helping people help themselves and each other. We believe that our responsibility is to enable communities help people to reach their full potential. We believe in working with our employees in a positive manner in the same way we expect our employees to work with the community. We believe that working with individuals and families through compassionate consideration, we enrich all who are reached by our programs. We believe we can promote greater self-sufficiency to all individuals and families by building on strengths and reducing barriers.
