Our Story
Established in 1965, the Mid-East Community Action Agency (MECAA) began as a summer program under the Federal Head Start Program, providing essential early childhood education for preschool children. Serving the Roane and Loudon Counties, MECAA addresses the developmental, social, emotional, health, and family needs of children from low-income backgrounds, ensuring they have a strong foundation for future success. Over the years, MECAA has evolved into a vital organization dedicated to combating poverty through various programs and services.
