Community Action Services and Food Bank

The Circles initiative works to help families move out of generational poverty through training and matching them with highly trained community volunteers from the middle class. The participating families receive specialized training to help them overcome the barriers to escaping poverty. The initiative also identifies and works on systemic barriers that keep people in poverty. In 2024, 77 families were being mentored to reach 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.
