FAQs

What is the Capital Campaign?

YCAP’s work is impeded by its woefully inadequate facilities. As a result, YCAP decided to go forward with a capital campaign to build a new facility to house the regional warehouse for the food bank, client services, transit, weatherization & energy assistance, and transitional housing programs. The challenge to raise $2.96 million to build a new home for YCAP is daunting but well worth the effort. From its new home, YCAP will have so many more opportunities to improve the quality of life for so many of our neighbors.
