providing resources to help move low-income people out of poverty and into economic self-sufficiency

 

Community Action Programs

The three county-based Community Action Programs of CVOEO provide a wide range of important services to the low-income residents of Vermont's Champlain Valley. These include housing assistance, emergency fuel and utility assistance, emergency food shelves (Addison, Grand Isle and Franklin Counties), transportation assistance, food stamp outreach, gardens programs, furniture vouchers, farm-to family coupons, tax preparation assistance, assistance in filling out various application forms, information/referral services, case management, advocacy, and other locally based services. The Community Action Programs work closely with other local service providers, state agencies, faith-based charities, and the private sector, to maximize available resources available to help move low-income people out of poverty and into economic self-sufficiency.

Walk-ins are welcomed at all three Community Action offices.
