Community Action Pioneer Valley (CAPV)

Community Action Pioneer Valley assists people who have low incomes to achieve economic stability and security, and works to build communities in which all people have the opportunity to thrive.  We strive to build a community that invests in access for everyone to healthy food; safe, affordable housing; living wage work; high quality, affordable education from birth; and full participation in the democratic process.  We advocate for policies and resources that protect the vulnerable and disenfranchised, and open opportunity to all. Each year, we work with more than 32,000 people and hundreds of coalitions and partnerships to build on the strengths of our community.

Accomplishments in the Nonprofit Community:

With the support of Baystate Health, Community Action developed Look4Help, a free, first-of-its kind, web-based resource directory for Franklin, Hampshire, and North Quabbin residents. In 2021, more than 18,000 users visited our Look4Help website to find resources through its up-to-date, searchable listing of nearly 1,600 local services and programs located throughout Western Massachusetts.
