New River Community Action, Inc.

New River Community Action, Inc (NRCA) is a proponent of self-sufficiency: 'A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out' is its goal. Community Action was established over thirty-five years ago by Congress as a centerpiece of the War on Poverty. The goal of Community Action is: to reduce poverty, revitalize low-income communities and empower low-income individuals and families to become fully self-sufficient. NRCA holds the conviction that poverty and hunger are not acceptable conditions in communities and believe that ending poverty is an attainable goal through joint community efforts.
