Thanks to CSBG support, our delegate agency, Catholic Charities of the Finger Lakes, served over 24,700 meals to adults in Ontario County who might have otherwise gone without. Local action saves lives—protect the Community Services Block Grant! #ProtectCSBG
When Rochester’s Northeast business corridor needed revitalization, CSBG funds helped ABC support new businesses, create jobs, and build safer neighborhoods. In the last year alone, 37 jobs were created, and 18 new businesses were supported. That’s impact. #ProtectCSBG
Did you know ABC helped over 2,800 participants move toward economic stability last year? From GEDs to job placement and financial literacy, CSBG funding invests in opportunity, self-sufficiency, and #Results. #ProtectCSBG #CommunitiesInActiongether #ActionforaBetterCommunity
Congress is considering cutting the Community Services Block Grant (#CSBG). Rochester families deserve better. Protect what works for Rochester. CSBG empowers ABC to lift thousands of families toward self-sufficiency every year. If CSBG is cut, many of our programs are at risk.
