Description

As a part of our growing series on knowing your Community Resources, we want to introduce Kentucky’s Community Action Network. This network is a vital resource of 23 Community Action Agencies. operating in every county of Kentucky, offering a wide range of resources to families throughout the Commonwealth.

In our upcoming webinar, we will discuss how Community Action Agencies are committed to providing life-changing resources that cover various service areas including food security, transportation, home energy, early childhood education, senior support, emergency services, housing, workforce development, family advocacy, and more. For comprehensive information on local offices, resources, and the impact of the network, you can visit CAK’s website at https://www.capky.org/about-us/.

We will also highlight the role of Community Action Kentucky (CAK), which represents all 23 Community Action Agencies in Kentucky. CAK’s mission is to build and strengthen the network of Kentucky’s Community Action Agencies by providing ongoing training and support. This helps our network administer vital programs and services efficiently across the Commonwealth. CAK is committed to ensuring our network has access to the latest resources and continually strives for improvement, ensuring network members and their clients have the tools and resources they need.

While the services can differ based on the county, the strength of the Community Action Network lies in its dedication to local-level decision making. This allows for the identification and planning of programs that can be most beneficial to each specific community.
