What We Do

MVAC is a private, non-profit organization that uses federal, state and local resources to provide assistance wherever needed. It is a local institution working on local problems within the widest possible spectrum of local needs and interests.

MVAC is not the government, nor is it a political entity. Eighteen members of the Board of Directors are representatives of the low-income community and must be elected by their peers. Nine members are private individuals who are selected through a petition process and the other eighteen are elected public officials. This Board configuration offers the opportunity for needs and priorities to be established by a panel of peers of those being served. It is intended to move poverty programs out of the political arena and back to the people for decision making.
