Executive Director’s Newsletter – March 2025

Newsletter   |   Mar 19, 2025

March is an important month for CKCAC. Spring brings new opportunities for growth as the flowers and trees begin their growth.

This month, our new CSBG Director joins us. Her name is Katrina Wilbanks and she is going to be a great asset to our agency. If you are a community partner who works with our CSBG office, please be on the lookout for Katrina and introduce yourself.

LIHEAP Crisis funding has been extended through the end of March. If you have community members at risk of having their gas or electricity shut off due to past due balances, please have them contact our local CSBG offices.

Our previous Executive Director, Hal B. Goode, has rejoined CKCAC as a consultant to help explore housing needs in our area. Hal is also helping strengthen our marketing and social media efforts to share the wonderful news of CKCAC. Hal will be reaching out to community partners for advice on both of these things, so be sure to give Hal your input!

CKCAC is continuing to monitor policy changes at the federal and state levels. I am in constant contact with our Congressional and General Assembly delegations and will continue to work across the Community Action network to identify areas of growth. I want to ensure the longevity and success of CKCAC and appreciate any support you can provide on this journey. We are all in this together!

Thank you for all you do.
