Community Action Month


May 2024

2024 marks a significant milestone: the 60th anniversary of the Economic Opportunity Act, the federal legislation that created Community Action. Since its creation in 1964, Community Action has responded to local needs in every corner of America and helped make America a better place to live.

Everyday, Community Action Agencies provide life-changing programs and services to Kentuckians. May is designated as Community Action Month to recognize their impact.
