Union-Snyder CAA is dedicated to improving our community by helping individuals and families living in low income reach self-sufficiency. We accomplish this by providing services in five components:
- Community Services: Services available to low income families and individuals through Community Services include Housing Assistance, Energy Assistance, Transportation Assistance, Food Referrals, and
more.
- Veterans Affairs: Union-Snyder CAA is the home of the Snyder County Veterans Affairs Office, which assists veterans, widows, and dependent children in obtaining benefits that are available from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
- CORE Susquehanna AmeriCorps: Union-Snyder CAA administers the local branch of the national AmeriCorps service program. Members commit to a term of service at a local nonprofit organization in exchange for benefits like education support.
- Community Outreach: Union-Snyder CAA works in partnership with local organizations and communities to alleviate the causes and impacts of poverty in Union and Snyder Counties through programs like Strengths-Based Family Worker Credentials & Leadership Certificate, Poverty Simulations, The Linen Closet (TLC) Donation Collection, VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), and an annual Family Service Conference each spring.
