Community Action Network Celebrates 60 Years

posted 4/29/24 -- LCCAA is proud to be a member of the nationwide network of Community Action Agencies celebrating 60 years of service in 2024.

Today, 99% of American counties are served by a Community Action Agency.

Every year, agencies like LCCAA connect more than 9.5 million people with services and supports that improve their lives. All programs and services are designed to meet specific, local needs and created in cooperation with people who have lived in poverty.
