Community Action At Work

NCCAA is committed to living and fulfilling the promise of community action. In collaboration with our partners and volunteers, our Community Action Agencies have worked diligently to reduce poverty in their communities. Here’s a snapshot of our impact.

Poverty is Complex

No one aspires to be poor. For North Carolina’s disadvantaged communities, the cycle of poverty is inextricably intertwined with a cycle of poor health, disproportionately unfair treatment by the justice system, inadequate shelter, and limited access to education and stable employment.

Help Us End Poverty

Your investment in community-based anti-poverty strategies will strengthen families and communities, grow strong economies, and make North Carolina a better place to live, work, play, and learn for us all.

GET INFORMED

Poverty is complex. Learn why a variety of services, resources or support in more than one area are necessary to reduce poverty in your community.
