Get Involved with Community Action!
Volunteer with Community Action
We have dozens of ways to be engaged! From individual to group activities, one-time or ongoing opportunities, donation drives and more, just let us know how YOU want to make a difference.
In-Kind & Donation Drives
Donations of goods and services are a great way to support families who are often lacking the basic necessities to live. Before you drop off items, learn more about what our clients need to get ahead, and our partners who gratefully accept other items.
