Tempe Community Action Agency

Tempe Community Action Agency (TCAA)’s mission is to foster dignity and self-reliance in the economically vulnerable within the communities we serve.  This work is accomplished through five major program areas:  hunger relief, homeless prevention and intervention, senior independence, healthy families and economic advancement.  Programs include: Tempe’s largest and longest running food pantry, I-HELP - Tempe’s only homeless shelter for adults, three senior centers, a home-delivered meals program, emergency rental and utility assistance, support services for pregnant and parenting young mothers, career and workforce development services and two community gardens. Collectively, these programs serve 22,000 unduplicated children and adults each year from Tempe and surrounding East Valley communities.
