Community Action Angels
Frequently, the pressing needs of families striving for stability fall outside the scope of traditional funding guidelines. Basic essentials like household goods, bedding, clothing, school supplies, holiday gifts, and access to transportation are crucial for a family's societal functioning. Unfortunately, these critical needs often remain unmet by standard funding sources. Addressing these immediate emergency needs is essential to enable families to concentrate on their long-term self-sufficiency goals and achieve stability.
ACCORD's Community Action Angels play a crucial role in bridging this gap and are frequently the sole source available for providing such assistance. This all-volunteer and donation-driven project, operating under ACCORD, has had a positive impact on numerous individuals in the community. The program actively receives requests for everyday necessities and, through a network of dedicated volunteers, strives to fulfill these needs on an individual basis. The collective efforts of Community Action Angels aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing immediate challenges, emphasizing the importance of community support in times of need.
