Mission: From their website:

The Access Agency is a non-profit Community Action Agency (CAA). It is our mission to create the conditions that empower individuals and families in the communities we serve to overcome the barriers that impair their ability to be economically stable.

Access has been working with the low income population of Eastern Connecticut since 1965. We take a comprehensive, holistic approach to looking at the poverty related issues of the individuals and participants' families and then develop individual plans to help our clients overcome the challenges they are facing.

The staff and volunteers of the Access Community Action Agency are committed service providers, mentors, advocates, educators, neighbors, families, and friends. We believe that by working together as communities positive changes can be made that enable people to fight and overcome poverty. We are optimistic about the future and are committed to another 40 years and beyond of diligent hard work on behalf of those in need.
