Community Action Lehigh Valley,

Community Action Lehigh Valley is a Lehigh Valley-wide anti-poverty organization dedicated to community-based problem solving that is driven by the individuals who live, work, and play in our communities. As a community, we come together to identify challenges that limit opportunities and create barriers to economic and social stability in our neighborhoods, and we work with and alongside those most affected to develop programs to address those needs, while advocating to address to root causes of inequality and injustice in our society.

At Community Action Lehigh Valley, our programs represent a diverse range of strategies, constituents, issue areas, and approaches because we are an agile, community-driven organization. As new challenges emerge, we work together to confront them, driven by a commitment to making the Lehigh Valley a more just and equitable place for everyone who lives, works, or plays in our neighborhoods.
