Community Action Angels is a statewide initiative that works to bring together volunteers and community members who are looking to give back to those in need in their community. Local initiatives include:

Family Essentials

CAPCO's Family Essentials provides clothing, shoes, toiletries, and some household items FREE and can help take the edge off hard times. Clean, gently used items also accepted for donations. For information, contact us at 753-6781. Hours of operation are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays 9am-2pm

Coat Giveaway

Our annual coat giveaway puts gently used coats and other winter gear in the hands of those who need it. We collect winter gear throughout the year and make it available to those who need it in October.

Everybody’s Baby Shower 

This annual summer event helps those too little to ask by providing gifts of new baby necessities and education to new and expectant parents in need.

Pajama Party

Our Spring Pajama Party promotes literacy in children through bedtime stories. Children receive a new pair of pajamas and a new book to add to their bedtime story collection.

Holiday Extravaganza

CAPCO families are invited to a holiday shopping experience and gift-wrapping station to help ease the stress of the holidays. Pre-registration is required

Snackpacks

Our Snack Pack Program is designed to fill a gap by providing healthy, kid-friendly, and easy to prepare foods to families at risk of weekend hunger when children are not in school.

The Healthy Families home visiting program matches parents with knowledgeable and caring workers who provide information and support during pregnancy and early childhood. Services include helping families access community resources and services, educating families on parenting and child development, connecting families with medical providers, and assessing children for developmental delays.

The program offers free, confidential, one-on-one services that help hungry community members get nutrition assistance. NOEP Coordinators help applicants gather documentation for, fill out, and send in the SNAP application and works to increase participation in the School Breakfast Program and the Summer Food Service Program, which provide nutritious meals to school-aged children.

This one time help is designed to assist individuals and families when emergencies arise. These are limited funds to help with small expenses in an emergency.

Emergency assistance may be available for, but not limited to, the following situations:

Heating Costs

NYSEG/National Grid bills

Diapers

Prescriptions

Transportation Costs

Lack of food
