The Action Center

Since 1968, the Action Center, a human-services non-profit, has provided an immediate response to basic human needs while promoting pathways to self-sufficiency. Annually, The Action Center provides assistance to nearly 30,000 Jefferson County residents. Services to the community include a self-select grocery, clothing area, 22-bed homeless shelter, transportation, utility assistance and intensive case-management programs such as the Self-Sufficiency Pathways Program. With the help of 100 volunteers a day and more than 5,000 yearly, The Action Center gives help, provides hope and builds dignity while breaking the cycle of poverty. Vision: To be a fluid and financially sound agency that identifies and responds to the basic human needs of the residents of Jefferson County.
