A message from our Executive Director
Timothy King, WHCA Executive
DirectorFor more than 40 years, WHCA has been helping people improve their lives by providing programs that encourage families to become self-sufficient and respond to their basic needs as well as programs that offer them a brighter future. WHCA has created a number of innovative programs that make a difference in the lives of families in Down East Maine. I hope you find the information on our website to be helpful and enlightening.
If you need help and don't find it on this website, call us and we'll do our best to make sure you get what you need. If you can help us help others, we appreciate your support.
In a time when my faith in people was very low, WHCA showed me I could trust them. This I will never forget, 'cause WHCA in my book is the best."
