Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois aims to provide the low-income population with the resources and knowledge to escape a life of poverty and maintain financial stability.

With that in mind, their Executive Director was recently surprised when she put together the figures for an impact report to their Board. Alison Rumler-Gomez explains their senior nutrition and transportation services in Logan and Mason County have been a great program for those areas.

According to Rumler-Gomez, this coming year the focus of the organization is creating a sense of building a wealth mindset within their organization. She hopes that will help their clientele think of Community Action differently so their mindset becomes in line with their mission.

Rumler-Gomez says the emphasis is going to be on helping their clients develop a mindset of wealth building and abundances. She explains they have developed an app that she feels will help Community Action get to where everyone is now at in the 21st century.

Rumler-Gomez says they've already piloted the app and plan to roll it out to their Head Start families in August when their new Head Start year opens up. She points out they have a motivational tool to it and feels it will have a powerful impact on their families.
