Services Offered

At the Delmarva Community Action Center, a division of Delmarva Community Services, Inc., staff work to provide poverty assistance through a variety of effective and time-tested programs.

• Providing a local Food Pantry, where individuals or families are provided with groceries once a month, with quantities based on the size of the household.
• Home foreclosure assistance is available to everyone regardless of income. A counselor will advise a client on how to solve financial issues that could lead to the loss of a home.
• Rental assistance is short-term financial aid. At budgeting classes, individuals learn how to manage their finances so that even a modest income can provide a secure and pleasant lifestyle.
• Free income tax preparation is especially valuable to low-income citizens, who may not be aware of deductions to which they are entitled. It also helps them avoid unscrupulous preparers who take advantage of the poor.
• Housing rehabilitation aims to conserve local housing to provide a decent living environment for low-and-moderate income individuals and persons with disabilities. Some typical repairs under this program include ramps and bathroom retrofit, and other projects related to mobility and access.
