About Us

 

ACCA is a church-related voluntary organization providing day care, food, rental assistance, furniture, and other services to low-income families in the Annandale/Bailey’s Crossroads area. What counts most in ACCA is serving those in need.

Mission Statement

The Annandale Christian Community for Action, incorporated as ACCA, Inc., is an alliance of 26 churches in the Annandale community and adjacent areas. The purpose is to unite all Christians of the community to promote and sponsor Christian social action. The guiding principle is “doing what Jesus would do.”

To learn about ACCA’s work, please see our 2018 Annual Report.

How ACCA Started

To learn how ACCA got started in 1967, read a short history. 

Governance and Funding

ACCA is governed by a Board of Directors made up of Official Representatives (OR’s) from member churches. The Board and its elected officers (list of former & current presidents) meet monthly to review and guide assistance programs. Church and private contributions, foundation and government grants basically fund ACCA. Apart from its Child Development Center, there is no paid staff and no charge for ACCA program services. As a 501 (c) (3) organization, all contributions and donations of goods to ACCA are tax deductible.
