The mission

What this organization describes

Helping people. Changing lives.
Community Action Services and Food Bank works to stabilize families and then rebuild their lives. We help meet their basic needs (food, shelter, housing) while providing the long-term solutions needed to rebuild their financial and social self sufficiency, enabling many to break out of poverty. Our programs include a food bank, family development, homeless prevention, home buyer and mortgage counseling, the Circles Initiative, community gardens, and a commercial kitchen. Community Action has served the low-income population of Utah, Wasatch and Summit counties in Utah since 1967. We work with others in the community to develop solutions to address poverty and its effects.
