Our Mission

ACToday’s mission is to aid in the development of the underprivileged and marginalized and to pursue solutions to the underlying causes of poverty through education and empowerment.

We fight for the underprivileged and marginalized in every community.  We support health, education, financial security, housing, environmental matters and elder care.
