NECAC Using New Protocol Amid Virus Outbreak

North East Community Action Corporation (NECAC) is still serving clients amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, but has implemented new guidelines.
Face-to-face contact will be limited to appointments that require it and some appointments may be rescheduled. Most clients’ needs will be handled via telephone or computer. NECAC County Service Centers will remain open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but doors will be locked to reduce traffic flow.
Paperwork may be mailed, scanned and e-mailed or placed in drop boxes that have been placed at the service centers. Clients may also log on to the agency’s website at www.necac.org or check out its Facebook page. Clients without computer access should call.
“Our goal is to serve clients while also making sure we take precautions to stop the spread of the virus,” said NECAC President and Chief Executive Officer Don Patrick. “We are an essential provider, and as such we will be here to administer the social services, housing development and community health programs which are vital to serving the disadvantaged.”
“The NECAC Ralls County Service Center continues to provide professional services to our communities by being a friendly voice and compassionate partner,” said NECAC Ralls County Service Coordinator Miranda Anderson. “We are working hard to make this time convenient and easy for all. We are in this together – you, me and Lysol.”
NECAC is a 12-county area not-for-profit social service, community health and public housing Community Action Agency. NECAC administers more than 60 programs through contracts and grants with federal, state and local governments, private businesses and other not-for profit organizations to operate and administer self-sufficiency service programs for the low-income, elderly, youth, disabled and disadvantaged population.
