Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

Sieda Community Action provides range of programs designed to address the causes and conditions of poverty. These programs strengthen families and personal relationships, promote child development, remove barriers to overcoming poverty, and help individuals and families with basic needs. With the strong foundation Sieda provides, individuals are more likely to become self-reliant and contribute positively to their families and communities.

Sieda operates several child development, family support services, housing stabilization and behavioral health programs in the counties they serve.  

The Child and Adult Care Food Program provides registered child care providers with nutrition education and reviews their monthly menus to assure that meals and snacks follow standard nutrition guidelines. Providers also plan nutrition activities for the children in their care, which helps prepare young children to make healthy food choices for the rest of their lives.  Providers are provided with partial reimbursement for the cost of the meals and snacks as a result of participating in the program.

The Family Development and Self-Sufficiency Program (FaDSS) is a voluntary home visitation program that uses a strength-based approach to provide core services such as family support and goal setting. Family support is provided through referrals, linking families to community supports and advocacy. Participation in FaDSS is a voluntary option for people receiving Family Investment Program benefits.
