Whereas, The Community Action mission is, “Helping People Help Themselves,”
which is accomplished through a variety of programs and services to help their
clients become self-sufficient, productive members of society; and,
Whereas, Over 1.5 million residents are served each year by Michigan’s
30 Community Action Agencies through such programs as Head Start, Home Weatherization,
Senior Services, Emergency Food, Crisis Intervention and other emergency services;
and,
Whereas, Making up the largest network of social services outside of state
government, Community Action Agencies serve all 83 Michigan counties; and,
Whereas, Community Action Agencies play a crucial role in welfare reform; and,
Whereas, the State of Michigan is pleased to recognize the commitment and dedication
of the Michigan Community Action Agency Association for improving the quality
of life for all our citizens; and now therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim April 29, 2003, as Michigan Community Action Day in Michigan,
and I encourage all citizens to acknowledge the significant contributions made
by Community Action Agencies.
