Program Overview

Programs offering Nutrition Assistance, Emergency Housing, Domestic Violence Prevention, Care Coordination, Home Energy Assistance, and more ensure that WAGAP is fulfilling the promise of Community Action across Klickitat and Skamania counties.

Food Bank Network

WAGAP's Food Bank Network leads the effort to address hunger in Klickitat and Skamania counties. Low-income individuals and families are eligible for monthly Food Boxes, with a special Senior Box available to income-eligible seniors. Locations: Bingen (115 W Steuben), Goldendale (112 East Main), Klickitat (92 Main), Stevenson (683 SW Rock Creek), and a WAGAP Mobile Food Bank serving rural communities.

Community Youth Center

Began as a recreational and educational drop-in center for school-age youth. The Center has become a vital local resource and an integral part of the community's efforts to provide quality activity options for all children, as well as after-school childcare.

Programs for Peaceful Living

Provides Klickitat County residents with Domestic Violence Prevention and Sexual Assault Prevention. Certified staff are available 24/7 to work with individuals and families struggling with the effects of these crimes. All services are free of charge.

Decreasing Barriers Fund

Removing roadblocks and opening doors. Sometimes a small cost — an ID card, gas money, a bus pass, a few hours of childcare — can stand in the way of safety, stability, and opportunity. The Decreasing Barriers Fund makes sure no one has to choose between covering the basics and taking the next step forward.

Housing Assistance

WAGAP offers a range of housing services, including emergency housing assistance, the Guided Path Shelter in Bingen, and permanent housing support with case management. The Goldendale Transitions Program provides stable, supportive housing for unaccompanied youth, families with children, and people with disabilities. Limited financial assistance may also be available to help people at risk of eviction remain in their homes.
