Big Bend Community Action fights poverty, empowering the disadvantaged, promotes self-sufficiency and overcomes barriers.
Why Big Bend Community Action Agency is Unique: Most poverty-related organizations focus on a specific area of need, such as job training, health care, housing, or economic development. BBCAC reaches out to low-income people in our community, address their multiple needs through a comprehensive approach, develop partnerships with other community organizations, involve low-income clients in the agency’s operations, and administer a full range of coordinated programs designed to have a measurable impact on poverty.
