Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.
In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, host Lynn Schirk speaks with Lindsey Dumas-Bell, community and development director with OACAC.
The discussion focuses on case management and how the nonprofit works to provide needed services to qualifying area residents.
"OACAC is a nonprofit agency working to alleviate the causes and conditions of poverty in the Ozarks," according to its website. It's part of a network of 19 Community Action Agencies across Missouri and over 1,000 Community Action Agencies nationwide.
