Serving Southwestern Oregon

United Community Action Network

Creating solutions to poverty, improving lives in our community.

UCAN provides a wide array of social, health, early education and family services throughout Douglas and Josephine County. Our mission is simple yet profound: “Creating solutions to poverty, improving lives in our community.” At UCAN, we envision a future where every resident we serve has access to the resources and opportunities necessary to realize their full social, civic, and economic potential. Our goal is to empower individuals to secure their lives and actively participate in building stronger communities.
