Mission Statement
The CAC is Continuing A Commitment to restore and revitalize the quality of life in Jefferson County, and move the residents towards self-sufficiency. We achieve this goal by adapting and providing programs that are accessible, affordable, and culturally-sensitive to meet the needs of the community
Overview
The Jefferson County Community Action Council, Inc. is a private non-profit organization, established in 1965 - one of a nationwide network of Community Action Agencies. As mandated by federal law, it is operated by a Board of Directors made up of one-third representation from the low-income sector; one-third governmental representation; and one-third private. The Chief Executive Officer, Barbara V. Thompson, has served in her capacity since 2002.
Over the intervening years, the CAC has grown from its initial staff of 4 persons to some 150 employees. It is currently the largest private non-profit social service agency in Jefferson County, with an annual budget of over $6 million. Most of that money is pumped into the local economy.
Meeting the needs of Jefferson County residents will always be first priority for the CAC; collaboration with other community agencies has become one of the most efficient ways to accomplish this goal. Since the CAC competes for grants to fund its programming, it enjoys the flexibility of designing its services to fit community needs.
All CAC services are offered to Jefferson County residents free of any charge. While many programs are based on income-eligibility, some are available regardless of income. All participation in programming is entirely voluntary.
