Dear Friends and Partners:

     Take a stroll through any neighborhood in this country and you are likely to see the work of Community Action Agencies. First established in 1964 to fight America's War on Poverty as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Economic Opportunity Act, Community Action Agencies help improve 10 million lives every year and make America a better place to live.
     Tri-County Community Action, Inc. has been well known as a strong partner in Logan, Champaign, and Shelby counties. But what you may not know is that we are also part of Community Action Partnership, a national network representing a thousand Community Action Agencies devoted to ending poverty. Community Action Partnership is the most extensive and best-respected anti-poverty network in the nation.
     People want to add meaning to their lives. Community Action Partnership is a network for people who care. Now more than ever, we need to let our partners, the public, and our elected officials know that Tri-County Community Action, Inc. offers hope and an opportunity to join in the fight against poverty.
     Community Action employees, 125,000 strong, are located in virtually every county in our nation to deliver nearly 40 poverty-fighting initiatives like Head Start, WIC, food banks, job placement and training, first-time home buyer programs, and alternative education for at-risk youth. Community Action Agencies have a proven track record of helping people help themselves and each other.
     America needs to know that a thousand agencies in partnership, community by community, have made a huge difference in the lives of our nation: 10 million every year.
     By adding "Community Action Partnership" to our local identity, we hope to tell the media, the public, and our partners that we believe poverty can be defeated by  "Helping People. Changing Lives."

What is a Community Action Agency?

Sincerely,
Denise Bergen,
Executive Director
