About Us

Otter Tail-Wadena Community Action council was born on March 12, 1965 when seventy-five local residents met to discuss the Economic Opportunity Act. At that time an eleven-person board was elected. Since that time such programs as Head Start, Energy Savers (the first Weatherization project in the nation), Fuel Assistance, Money Management, Family Planning, Wheels for Workers, Affordable homes, Home Stretch and others have been initiated. These programs continue to serve the area's population and testify to OTWCAC's Mission Statement.
