About us
The mission of IMPACT Community Action is to reduce poverty by providing hope-inspiring help and real opportunities for self-sufficiency. IMPACT has a federally mandated tripartite board composed of elected officials, private sector representatives, and communituy-based representatives who are elected by the residents of the geographical area they represent. IMPACT serves a diverse population and has staff members that speak multiple languages including: Spanish, Somali, French, and several East African dialects. The concept of Community Action has been part of the American social fabric for over forty years. The Community Action movement dates back to 1964, when the Economic Opportunity Act was passed, indicating the beginning of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. The United States has 1,100 Community Action Agencies that provide services to 96% of the nation’s counties. Ohio is home to 50 Community Action Agencies that provide services to all 88 counties, including Franklin County.
