ROOTED IN COMMUNITY. BUILT TO SERVE PROVIDENCE.
Our History
Since 2012, Providence Community Action Partnership has helped Providence residents access services, resources, and support. Our work helps residents meet essential needs, build stability, and move toward self-sufficiency.
Serving Providence Since 2012.
Providence Community Action Partnership began serving Providence in November 2012. The agency operates, promotes, and supports human service programs that improve the lives of low-to-moderate income individuals and families across Providence.
From the beginning, Providence Community Action Partnership has focused on meeting immediate needs while helping residents move toward long-term self-sufficiency. Over time, Providence Community Action Partnership has grown into a trusted provider of social services. Today, residents can access programs that support food assistance, heating support, home energy efficiency, tax preparation, education, workforce readiness, family stability, and community resources.

Today
A connected network of support

Part of a larger Community Action movement.
Providence Community Action Partnership’s work is rooted in the Community Action model. This model brings local organizations, public resources, and community partnerships together to address poverty and improve quality of life.
This approach recognizes that every household has different needs. Because of that, Providence Community Action Partnership offers programs, referrals, and support that meet residents where they are. Then, our team helps them move toward where they want to be.
Continuing the work.
Providence Community Action Partnership history is still being written through every family served, every partnership built, and every step taken toward a stronger Providence.
