A Cornerstone of Community Support
As we navigate the challenges of an increasingly uncertain climate across our country, we at the Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action, Inc. (PLCCA) reach out to our valued partners, affiliates, friends, neighbors, and supporters. In these trying times, we ask for your consideration and support to help sustain the vital services we have provided to Illinois
individuals and families for over 55 years.
PLCCA has long been a cornerstone of community support, delivering a wide array of essential services, including childcare, family services, mental health and substance use treatment, LIHEAP, youth and family services, employment training, financial and computer literacy programs, affordable housing, and a Pearson Vue testing center.
Our agency's mission is to uplift, empower, and serve those in need, and we have been honored to be a part of many lives throughout the years.
​
PLCCA’s programs and services are in a strong position due to the delivery, integrity, and quality of our services, however, the current climate presents a real threat to our ability to continue these programs. We are now at a critical juncture, and in light of this, we are seeking your assistance to ensure the continuity of our work. The financial support of individuals like you has never been more necessary as we strive to sustain and expand our services for the betterment of our community.
On behalf of myself, the Chairman of the Board, David Quas, and the entire Board of Directors, we kindly ask you to consider making a financial contribution to PLCCA, Inc. Your donation will help us maintain the critical services that so many individuals and families rely on daily.

About PLCCA
The Mission of PLCCA is to advocate for social change. We feel this can be accomplished by “Promoting community development and empowering people through education, training, and supportive services”

PLCCA was established in 1968 by Bishop Dr. Claude Porter as a private
State of Illinois, not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 corporation to serve the low-income residents in Cook County’s Proviso and Leyden Townships, the municipality of Norridge, and the Chicago metropolitan area.
PLCCA continues to promote the enhancement, development, and implementation of practical approaches to serving low-income residents and the total community.
PLCCA is also a Certified Pearson Vue Testing Center
