Today, we are one of 19 community action agencies in Missouri and one of 1,000 in the United States. The programs and services MVCAA provides are designed to equip those we serve to transition from poverty to self reliance.
As a 501(c)(3), private, not-for-profit, charitable organization, we are entrusted to steward the funds we receive in order to provide maximum impact for those we serve. This stewardship began very humbly 55 years ago with a $50,000 grant to establish three Head Start centers that provided 6 weeks of summer preschool services to about 60 children. Today, MVCAA manages a budget of about $10.5 million that covers 17 sites.
