Community Action House

For over 50 years, Community Action House has served our most vulnerable neighbors right here on the lakeshore. Our founders sought to organize a collective response of individuals, churches, and businesses working together to provide critical resources in a time of need, as well as assistance achieving mobility from poverty. We remain a community institution - where folks of all perspectives come together to create and sustain a community of support and opportunity for our most vulnerable neighbors. We focus our efforts in three interdependent areas: Food Access, Resource Connection, and Financial Wellness. We pride ourselves in being a place where people can come to us for the food they need right now, but can leave with a plan for a brighter future, and a partner in that journey. Our emergency response to COVID is currently emphasizing providing increased food assistance via modified delivery at our Food Pantry and Community Kitchen, deploying our Street Outreach team to assist our houseless neighbors, and providing Foreclosure Intervention services.
