Community Action Month occurs every May, serving as a reminder of our origin, following the signing of the Economic Opportunity Act by President Lyndon B. Johnson. This month also provides an opportunity to further our reach and share our vision, while also putting that vision into action and alleviating the effects of poverty in San Bernardino County. The signing of the act birthed over 1,000 Community Action agencies across America, which are all dedicated to alleviating the effects of poverty. This May marks the 60th anniversary for our network, giving us reason to celebrate, and motivation to continue to help people and change lives for another 60 years! |
