For the very first time, WCCA is hosting a Community Action Summit to finish out Community Action Month in May. We know that in order to make a difference in our community, we need to have strong partnerships and collaborative movements. Public awareness and open conversations are crucial to fight poverty. This event will foster these conversations, provide networking opportunities, and build awareness. We hope that it brings the community together to learn more about the community initiatives that help low-income individuals.
