Community Action: • Opens doors and leads the way: We provide access to the opportunities people need to improve their lives, to help themselves and each other. • Turns hope into reality: We identify the needs of the entire community, and take action to improve life for everyone in the community. • Treats people with respect: We treat people the way we want to be treated. • Says "yes": If we do not provide the needed service, we will link you with those who do. • Gives a voice to the poor: Through our advocacy, we seek to make society more flexible and responsive to the needs of the poor. • Mirrors the diversity of our communities: Our local boards include low-income people, local public officials, and business and community groups.
