Kootasca Community Action, Inc

Founded by local citizens in 1965, KOOTASCA Community Action helps individuals, families, and communities fight the multiple causes and challenges of poverty. Through comprehensive crisis support, anti-poverty services, and partner referral, we help people to help themselves make meaningful change in their lives and journey out of poverty. Our mission, “Building Community to End Poverty,” is a collaborative effort with our community to change attitudes and mindsets about poverty, to change the systems that affect people in poverty, and to engage all community members in creating a community that provides opportunities for everyone. KOOTASCA programs are funded by federal, state, local, earned income, and/or private sources. We follow all regulations and guidelines to ensure compliance with each funding source, specific to the program and its individual obligations. Agency materials, messaging, and services provided within a program, should not be construed as representing other programs within the agency or the agency as a whole.
