Western Dairyland Economic Opportunity Council was established June 6, 1966, under the Economic Opportunity Act to help families and individuals in Buffalo, Eau Claire, Jackson, and Trempealeau counties located in West Central Wisconsin. The agency's mission is to alleviate poverty-related conditions and provide opportunities which enable everyone to advance economically and socially.

WDEOC works with individuals and community organizations to improve the quality of life for all. The agency is governed by a Board of Directors representing the counties we serve.

Community Action changes people's lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities, and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
