Let's have some fun! Mark your calendar now for Festival of Game dates below!

More than just lending your support, we invite you, our friends and neighbors, to attend these events for fun while getting better acquainted with the work we do.

What does West Central Missouri Community Action Agency (WCMCAA) do?

When people who live rural areas don’t have enough income, it can be hard to access good jobs, quality housing, food, and opportunities that may be more easily accessed in urban areas. WCMCAA connects residents in rural West Central Missouri to help with employment, food, housing, transportation, utility bills, and more, so they can create the success they envision for themselves and their families. 

What does New Growth MO do?

Starting and growing a business in rural communities can have extra challenges. New Growth connects both farm and non-farm entrepreneurs and neighbors with resources they may not know about so that more businesses succeed here faster, creating jobs and strengthening our communities.

The Cause - As the chill of winter sets in, the need for warmth and shelter becomes a matter of survival for families and individuals. Your participation in this event and raffle will directly support those facing emergency housing crises in our rural communities across nine Missouri counties who don't have access to homeless shelters or other resources typically found in urban settings. This event will provide crucial funds for first month's rent and utility deposits to those who need help securing a home. Together, we can bring hope and warmth to those in desperate need within our rural communities.
