Pace Community Action Agency Celebrates Community Action Month
This May, as part of National Community Action Month, Pace Community Action Agency proudly celebrates 60 years of serving families across Southwestern Indiana. As a member of the nationwide Community Action Network, Pace has been at the forefront of efforts to help individuals and families achieve lasting economic independence.
Founded in 1965, Pace Community Action Agency is part of a powerful network of nearly 1,000 agencies across the United States that work daily to create economic opportunities, strengthen communities, and help families find sustainable paths to self-sufficiency.
Each year during Community Action Month, we reflect on the impact Pace and our network have had on families and the community. Tai Blythe, CEO of Pace, said, “Last year alone, 6,436 individuals received vital services like early childhood education, energy assistance, and access to healthcare. We employee over 115 individuals and administer a $10,000,000 budget; our economic impact to our local communities is impressive.”
Community Action Agencies like Pace are locally governed with boards of directors made up of local elected officials, public and private sector leaders, and engaged community members. This community-based model ensures programs are responsive to local needs and drive meaningful change at the ground level.
Community Action Month provides an opportunity to highlight the critical work of agencies like Pace and to honor the local partnerships that fuel these efforts. To learn more about Pace Community Action Agency’s services and how to get involved, please visit www.pacecaa.org.
