May is National Community Action Month

Every year in May, the 1,000-member Community Action Agency (CAA) network celebrates National Community Action Month by highlighting the innovative ways Community Action helps people and changes lives and encourage the entire community to advocate on behalf of the 37 million Americans living in poverty. 

The Rhode Island Community Action Association comprises the largest, most comprehensive provider network and statewide safety net in the state.  Last year, RI’s eight (8) Community Action Agencies provided services to over 50,000 households, or approximately 10% of the state’s population.  Most of these families are the lowest income individuals and families across all counties of our state.    

The Rhode Island Community Action Association and the Pawtucket Red Sox have joined together to celebrate Community Action Month.  The Paw Sox will be showing our new community outreach video at home games.
