For over 60 years, HAPCAP has worked to lift up Southeast Ohioans.
Our Mission:
Mobilize resources to empower individuals and communities through advocacy and quality services that promote self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.
Our Vision:
We live and work in a thriving community where poverty does not stand in our way - where neighbors help one another, where all people are valued, and where every person has the opportunity and resources to live a joyful, fulfilling life.
Our Values:
Compassion
We care and we show it. We demonstrate kindness, empathy, and respect in our interactions. We honor the dignity and worth of every person, and we provide meaningful assistance wherever we can.
Integrity
We are honest, trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable, and accountable. We steward resources responsibly, we are realistic and timely in our commitments, and we represent HAPCAP positively.
Collaboration
We work well with neighbors, partners, and each other to strengthen communities and create lasting, positive change. We offer new ideas, actively participate, and empower others.
Communication
We build relationships through transparent, respectful dialogue. We are approachable. We listen to understand, lean into difficult conversations, and clearly share information to create connections.
Impact
We speak up and solve problems that need fixed. We create, manage, and deliver programs, processes, and resources that make lives better. We are effective, efficient, and accurate in our work. We seek excellence.
