Use slogans, outcomes, or news, but use #CommunityAction!

The promise of #CommunityAction is, we make America a better place to live.

Ending poverty one promise at a time. Celebrate #CommunityAction month with us.

If you’ve seen one #CommunityAction agency, you’ve only seen ONE. Local solutions to local problems. Keeping the Promise.

Helping people help themselves and each other. We’re proud to help keep the #CommunityAction Promise.

Embodying the spirit of hope every day as we fight poverty and improve communities, #CommunityAction works.
