50-Year Anniversary for WSOS

Congratulations to TMACOG member WSOS Community Action which is celebrating 50 years of services in the TMACOG region.


In 1964, Seneca, Ottawa and Sandusky counties formed the SOS Community Action agency to
coordinate a wide range of public services. Wood County joined the next year and the agency became WSOS. In recent years, WSOS has expanded its work to Hancock and Lucas counties. The program was initially funded through President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” which sought to build self-sufficiency and reduce poverty. WSOS provides Head Start and other early childhood programs, rural community assistance with water and road projects, employment training, home rehabilitation, and foreclosure prevention services. For more information about services call 800.775.9767.
