Greater Erie Community Action Committee (GECAC) operates as Erie County’s Community Action Agency, providing a broad range of services aimed at helping individuals and families move from poverty toward self-sufficiency. Based in Erie, Pennsylvania, the nonprofit serves residents across the county through programs that address emergency needs, aging services, education, housing and utility assistance, meals, and workforce development, among others. Its work targets people at various life stages and economic situations, including minimum-wage workers, seniors on fixed incomes, and those facing job loss, with the goal of improving financial independence and overall well-being. GECAC is governed by a volunteer board and staffed by a workforce dedicated to service delivery, supported by a mix of local, state, and federal funding and private contributions. A number of recent developments reflect ongoing expansion of its programmatic footprint, including funding related to AmeriCorps RSVP and workforce development initiatives in the region.
