January 27, 2021EOC is now LifeWorks Community Action
Saratoga County Economic Opportunity Council (EOC) is proud to kick off 2021 by reintroducing itself as LifeWorks Community Action.
“By becoming LifeWorks, we’re honoring our mission and legacy of community action – neighbors helping neighbors. We’ve been mistaken as a government agency for too long and that’s not the experience our neighbors have when they turn to us for help.”
Over the past 55 years, the nonprofit has helped thousands of neighbors each year overcome the challenges of poverty by providing food, early childhood education, energy services, maternal and childhood wellness, and immigrant services. Popular programs include The Pantry in Ballston Spa and The Kitchen in Saratoga Springs, as well as Head Start, WIC and Weatherization.
LifeWorks also launched a universal intake on Jan. 11, which allows neighbors who are interested in receiving assistance from the agency to fill out one application to see which services they are qualified for rather than applying to each program separately.
