May is 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, a time to recognize the work of Community Action Agencies across the country and the people who helped build this movement.

This month, EOC of Suffolk proudly honors 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, a visionary leader whose work helped shape the modern Community Action Network. As the architect of many anti-poverty initiatives during the 1960s War on Poverty, Shriver helped launch the Community Action movement and championed the idea that local communities are best equipped to help people overcome barriers and achieve self-sufficiency. He also served as the founding director of the Peace Corps.

At EOC of Suffolk, we carry forward that legacy every day by helping individuals and families access the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive.

This week is 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 — a time to recognize the entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, and local employers who help strengthen our communities every day.

Small businesses do more than drive the economy. They create jobs, support neighborhoods, inspire innovation, and help families build financial stability and self-sufficiency.

At EOC of Suffolk, we understand that economic opportunity is closely tied to strong local businesses and workforce development. Supporting small businesses means supporting the people, families, and communities that make Suffolk County thrive.
