Christian Community Action

‏‏‏‏‎ ‎‎M‎ission statement:

“In the name of Jesus Christ, Christian Community Action ministers to the poor by providing comprehensive services to alleviate suffering, bring hope, and change lives.”

Christian Community Action has been around for 50 years offering a variety of services. Beyond their year round food pantry, they have programs including clothes drives, financial assistance, back to school programs, counseling, job fairs and more. 

Assistant Director of CCA, Thelma Cantu says these programs have been able to do so much work for individuals in the community. 

“There’ve been some pretty sad situations but at the end of it, we see so much hope, so much restoration,” Cantu said. “People’s lives and their families, that’s why we do it every day.” 

Cantu says volunteering can be rewarding for both volunteers and the people CCA helps. 

“It’s amazing to see people that come in and may have a sense of hopelessness or just feel like there’s so many burdens on them,” Cantu said. “And just a little bit of your time and you get so much more out of it than what you get.”
