Voluntary Action Center

The Voluntary Action Center (VAC) has a heart for service. It provides a wide variety of resources and assistance through unique programs designed to address unmet needs. These programs give individuals with low income the opportunity to gain independence, overcome crises, meet their basic needs, and improve their quality of life. The VAC also connects local agencies and volunteers with opportunities to respond to serious social problems and community issues.
