THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT DURING THE BUDGET CRISIS |
We want to give a special thank you to all of the community members,
churches, businesses and individuals who made donations, provided no interest
loans and volunteered so that we could keep SCCAP open during the recent budget
crisis . Withour you, clients would not have been served! All of our
programs are now back open and most of our staff are back at work. We are
so thankful for your assistance during this crisis! |

| A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - MEGAN SHREVE |
Our Board, staff and clients are so appreciative of the support of our
community. Without our partners, SCCAP could not do the good work it
does. Without our volunteers we could not serve as many clients as we
do. Without all of you, we simply could not do this work!
When I came back to the agency in 2005 we were serving 16,000 clients per
year. That number is now more than 23,000 clients. The needs in our
community are vast - but we have found that communities can come up with
creative solutions that help fill in the gaps for hard working families which
allow them to take steps to move out of poverty. We are so grateful for
every volunteer hour, the many gifts of both talents and dollars and the help of
our partners to serve our community's families. This is good work,
critically important work and we are thankful you have joined us in
doing it! Together we really are strengthening our
community! |

| GETTING THINGS DONE |
| Since the agencies creation in 1965, South Central Community Action Programs, Inc. has depended on volunteers to get things done. Getting things done, in fact, is the slogan of the Americorps*VISTA Program, which has provided full-time volunteers to several SCCAP programs over the years. From high school and college tutors, to food pantry workers, to fundraising coordinators, to board members, SCCAP relies on its loyal volunteers to uphold its mission.
We extend our gratitude to everyone who has ever contributed to the SCCAP mission by lifting a box, painting, distributing food, training clients and staff, teaching a child, raising funds ... the list goes on and on. There is no activity too small or insignificant to not be praised.
Without these caring individuals, the scope of SCCAP's operations would be severely limited. Volunteers selflessly do so much for so little and expect no recognition and no reward. Perhaps, that is all the more reason to take the time to say, "Thank You."
