MDC is a vital community resource for Tacoma and Pierce County. Founded in 1964 as a non-profit Community Action Agency, MDC is committed to providing innovative programs that help remove people from a life of poverty and prepare them for self-sufficient living. For most of our 48 year history, MDC has responded to community needs by providing services that address the needs of low-income families. To develop and manage innovative programs that promote self-sufficiency and remove individuals and families from poverty has been the mission of MDC since our founding in 1964.
