Community Action Agencies are private non-profit or public organizations that were created by the federal government in 1964 to combat poverty in geographically designated areas. Status as a Community Action Agency is the result of an explicit designation by local or state government.

A Community Action Agency has a tripartite board structure that is designated to promote the participation of the entire community in the reduction or elimination of poverty.

Community Action Agencies seek to involve the community, including elected public officials private sector representatives, and especially low-income residents, in assessing local needs and attacking the causes and conditions of poverty.

To be the leading provider of vital on-site health, education and employment services to low-income families, children and seniors. Our goal is to help keep family members employed, children in school, and seniors active.

Free Lunch Ministry: Once again this summer–from June to September–we offered a free lunch of hot dogs, chips, a drink and some good old-fashioned fellowship to all who stopped by on Wednesdays at lunch time (11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.).  We want to thank everyone who stopped by and had lunch with us and all those who honked and waved at us on the corner.

Meal Ministry: Do you know someone who needs to be touched by love in the form of a meal delivered to their home? Do you know someone who is hurting from a loss or operation or sickness? Do you know someone who is overwhelmed by life such as having a new baby or losing a job? Hope’s dedicated team of servants prepare meals for folks in need. Just give the office a call with the details and the information will be passed on and a meal will be delivered. If you’d like to help with this ministry, call the church office at 939-9181.
