Mission
Founded in November 1996, the Crudup-Ward Activity Center (CWAC) is a 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit establishment located at 630 Longview Street, Forest, Scott County, Mississippi. The CWAC was strategically built with a mission dedicated to offering assistance to low-income families, such as after school support, as well as summer feeding program for youths; promoting the development of parenting skills; promoting Welfare Reform Programs-such as for TANF clients that will increase family stability; implementing workshop programs that will help women entrepreneurs and others start or enhance their business; providing food pantry services to families in need; and improving family access to other resources such as single family housing's packager under the USDA-RD program. Since Covid, the organization has downsized the programs to mainly include food pantry services, assist small entrepreneurs with business plans and grant research, and has MOU as Packager for USDA-RD's single family housing.
