Founded by local citizens in 1965, KOOTASCA Community Action helps individuals, families, and communities fight the multiple causes and challenges of poverty.  Through comprehensive crisis support, anti-poverty services, and partner referral, we help people to help themselves make meaningful change in their lives and journey out of poverty. Our mission, “Building Community to End Poverty,” is a collaborative effort with our community to change attitudes and mindsets about poverty, to change the systems that affect people in poverty, and to engage all community members in creating a community that provides opportunities for everyone.

KOOTASCA programs are funded by federal, state, local, earned income, and/or private sources.  We follow all regulations and guidelines to ensure compliance with each funding source, specific to the program and its individual obligations.  Agency materials, messaging, and services provided within a program, should not be construed as representing other programs within the agency or the agency as a whole.
