Community Action of Nebraska

Representatives from our network had a very unique opportunity to welcome David Bradley to ENCAP Nebraska! David is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of National Community Action Foundation. Simply stated: he is the reason Community Action not only continues to exist, but thrive!

We also want to thank Nebraska Senator Victor Rountree and Bellevue Mayor Rusty Hike for taking time to join in the visit, and share how State and local support is helping ENCAP with its new and improved food pantry!

This day was a truly momentous occasion for our network. David’s commitment inspires us all to continue the fight for the cause that is Community Action 💪

Behind the scenes of every Nebraskan who receives heating assistance in the middle of winter, finds a path back to work, or has a safe place for their kids to learn and grow, there is a Community Action Agency helping make it possible.

Now, CAN is looking for the person who will support the agencies behind the impact.

We’re hiring an Association Manager to connect, resource, and strengthen Nebraska’s nine Community Action Agencies while championing an exceptional service experience across the network.
