Blue Water Community Action (BWCA) has a 50-year history of successfully providing a variety of programs that assist low-income individuals, seniors and families to become economically self-sufficient. These programs have focused on early childhood education, health and nutrition, new home construction, home repairs, financial counseling and emergency assistance services.

A local day of giving called The Big Give is coming to St. Clair County on June 12, 2018. A partnership between the Community Foundation and local nonprofits, donors from every neighborhood in our community will come together to raise significant funds for local needs—all on a single day.

This is a big, bold opportunity for generosity and philanthropy in our community. We’re joining the Community Foundation of St. Clair County and 79 nonprofit organizations for the greater good. And every gift given will be increased by a bonus pool.

The giving website makes it easy, safe and fun to give to organizations like us that are already doing essential work in our community.
