The mission of the Community Action Commission (CAC) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's capital city, is to create and maximize the resources necessary for individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency. The Commission works primarily with and on behalf of low-income individuals and families in Pennsylvania's capital city region (Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry Counties). 
We like to think of self-sufficiency as a "three-legged stool." The self-sufficient family sits on the seat of the stool, which is supported by the three legs of:
Value-added return: "Thank you for providing this 'value added return on investment' to our community." Mark Keller, Chairman, Perry County CommissionersBest practices: "…..the Commission continues to have my personal and this City's gratitude for the enthusiasm, effort and leadership which you bring to community life. There are a number of shining examples of 'best practices' by nonprofits, and ……the Commission rates first on that list in my view." Stephen R. Reed, Mayor, City of Harrisburg
Services: "…I cannot think of any other agency which offers such a variety of services—from housing to women's health services. I know that I can always depend on the Community Action Commission to come to the rescue." The Honorable Jeffrey E Piccola, Senator, 15th District of Pennsylvania
