About the Council
Capital Area Council of Churches (CACC) was founded in 1941 to foster ecumenism and faithful Christian witness through service, advocacy and celebration. Current membership includes ninety faith communities and several community partners in the Capital Region of New York.
Highlighted CACC Events and Programs:
John U. Miller Crop Walk
Great News from the CROP Walk Committee!
Final update for the 2025 CROP Walk — Thanks to your incredible generosity, we not only reached our goal of $104,500… we surpassed it! We’re now over $105,000!
Your support made this event a true success. We’re so grateful to everyone who walked, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on.
Mark your calendars now — the 2026 John U. Miller Memorial CROP Hunger Walk will take place on Sunday, May 3. We hope you’ll be part of it again!
Next week, applications will be sent out to local food pantries and soup kitchens for a share of the local portion of the funds raised. Remember, 25% of all money raised stays right here in our community. The Capital Area Council of Churches will distribute those funds to nearly 30 feeding programs in our service area, primarily within Albany County.
Together, we are walking for hunger and walking for hope.
Scholarship Opportunities
Hogancamp Seminary Scholarship: Thanks to the generosity of the late Grace Hogancamp, the Council has some modest funds available to be used as scholarships for seminary students. These students must also belong to a CACC member congregation and accepted or enrolled in a Protestant theological seminary.
