Community Action Network Celebrates 59 years of Service, 38 years in Lawrence County
(May 1, 2023) – 2023 marks the 59th year since the Community Action Network was established to help American families and communities overcome obstacles to poverty. Over 1000 agencies across the country are working every day to create opportunities and transform the lives of their neighbors making communities stronger and helping families across the US thrive. This year, Lawrence County Community Action Partnership, a proud member of the Community Action Network, will also commemorate 38 years in service helping families throughout Lawrence County.
Community Action Agencies serve 99% of all American counties with life-changing services to help families achieve financial stability. All agencies are locally controlled and represented by the private, public, and low- income sectors of the community. We are proud of our communities’ participation in the development and oversight of our programs. Their engagement helps us to be more effective in our approach by determining what Lawrence County needs.
Lawrence County Community Action Partnership is a member of the National Community Action Partnership and the Community Action Network, which was born out of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.
