Bill > K00256

This resolution commemorates the 60th anniversary of Adirondack Community Action Programs, Inc. (ACAP), a community action agency originally established in 1965 as the Committee for Economic Improvement, Inc. to serve Essex County, New York. ACAP has dedicated itself to helping families become more self-sufficient through various programs including early childhood education, family support, senior services, and community development initiatives. The organization has evolved from focusing on the number of people served to measuring success by the positive changes in individuals and the community, prioritizing the recognition of people's strengths and fostering strong relationships. The resolution highlights ACAP's commitment to addressing poverty and supporting low-income populations, praising the organization's board, members, and volunteers for their dedication and excellence. By passing this resolution, the legislative body acknowledges ACAP's significant contributions to improving the quality of life in its community and officially recognizes its 60 years of service, with a copy of the resolution to be transmitted directly to the organization.
