    Zola Groh doesn’t think she is special for dedicating dozens of hours a month, year after year for 38 years to a local nonprofit. Of course, she is special for doing so and recently received recognition to prove it. She was named Volunteer of the Year by the Michigan Community Action Agency Association this spring, for her work at Mid Michigan Community Action.

  • Sequestration to have Significant Impact on Agency, Customers

    Posted by Mark Polega on 03/15/2013

    Sequestration has happened and now the impact on Mid Michigan Community Action and the customers it serves is becoming clearer. It will be significant.

    “When the across the board cuts to the federal budget were signed into law, we at the local level still did not really know what kind of effect it would have on our ability to serve our communities,” Jill Sutton, Mid Michigan Community Action Executive Director said.

National Community Action Month

National Community Action Month

National Community Action Month in May was created by the Community Action Partnership to highlight Community Action Agencies’ role helping low-income families move out of poverty and achieve economic security. Each year, Community Action Agencies serve 20 million people in rural, suburban, and urban communities across the country through a variety of targeted programs, such as Head Start, Weatherization, job training and placement, financial education,
housing, energy assistance, and transportation.

Mid Michigan Community Action remains committed to upholding the promise of "helping people, changing lives." In fiscal year 2012, we expended nearly $10.6 million in services to assist over 20,500 households across mid-Michigan. Along the way, we partner with hundreds of other non-profits, local and state government, churches, financial institutions, schools, the for-profit sector and our communities.

Despite the ongoing challenges presented to us--a slow-growing economy, federal budget cuts due to sequestration and the need to achieve more with less, we are committed to staying the course to help those in need in our community.
