Davidson County Community Action needs volunteers to serve as Greeters and Facilitators to families who are seeking assistance from our organization. Help us to coordinate appointments with our Case Managers and help the feed hungry from our Food Pantry. This volunteer opportunity is for folks who can come to our office for a few hours every week or every month. The reward is seeing the change that comes from families moving from poverty to economic freedom and self-determination.

Description
Community Action Agencies are non-profit organizations created by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s signing of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Davidson County Community Action, Inc. (DCCA) opened its doors in 1965, as one of the earliest local agencies in North Carolina fighting the "War on Poverty." DCCA currently administers the Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) and a food pantry, which provide the major funding for our efforts to lift families out of poverty and to live in economic self-sufficiency and self-determination.
DCCA’s answer to poverty is to move families from a future of financial dependence to independence, akin to the old adage: "give a man a fish and feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime."
