About MICA

Mid-Iowa Community Action (MICA)
For over 40 years MICA has waged the war on poverty. The mission–Helping People. Changing Lives. Building Communities.

MICA is guided by five core values: family, helping others, partnership, achieving results and innovation. In collaboration with community partners, the agency leads efforts to strengthen families and communities. Together, MICA and partners create communities where fewer people find themselves in poverty and those who do, have a path out.

MICA's services to low-income families are initiated primarily through our Family Development Centers in five core counties of Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, Story, and Tama. Family Development Centers are located in Ames, Grinnell, Iowa Falls, Marshalltown, and Tama. In addition, MICA helps low-income families in another 28 Iowa counties, either through direct services or by contracting with other agencies.
