Blue Mountain Action Council (BMAC)

Founded in 1966, BMAC is responsible for ending poverty in Walla Walla, Columbia, and Garfield Counties as our region’s community action agency.

BMAC’s core services are food, housing, and job training, and we provide several other distinct programs designed to help our neighbors and community thrive. We experienced rapid growth through the pandemic, doubling our operating budget and growing staff to meet local needs. We opened a new central office in 2020 that is the core business hub, and we operate a food bank and warehouse facility, a housing team that manages a shop and 18 properties, and an office in Columbia County.

MISSION: BMAC collaborates with our partners to equitably deliver services and support to our neighbors experiencing poverty. Together, we strengthen and build stable and thriving communities.

VISION: BMAC envisions just and inclusive communities where all people thrive, free from the oppression of poverty.
