Help Us to Build Space to Serve…
A Place that Inspires…
A Stronger Community…
First State Community Action Agency, Inc., serving Delaware's low income families since 1965, is raising funds through our Capital Campaign to renovate our Georgetown headquarters. Originally a warehouse, the building dates to the 1940's. First State purchased it in 1980 as our primary location for serving the poor of Sussex County.
Planned renovations will:
• create a Community Resource and Training Center room for clients, local residents and community organizations to gather for programs and events;
• add office space for staff to serve 2,000 more clients per year;
• improve the building's safety and security systems;
• upgrade the building's energy efficiency with "Green" equipment and materials.
First State programs for support and expansion:
• Training, counseling, education for youth in after school activities
- Emergency services including food, counseling support, and job training for clients
- Employment training, housing and financial counseling
- Community events
