Regional Community Action Agency Held Low Income Board Election

On December 5, 2025 ABCCAA conducted a public meeting at New Directions Church Ministries, 3510 Trolley Line Road in Aiken, to elect a member of its Board of Directors to serve in the Low Income sector. The agency had posted a public notice inviting members of the public to attend and provided a phone number for further information. The meeting began at noon and was open to community observers and stakeholders.

ABCCAA is a regional community action agency whose programs and services span several counties, including Allendale. The elected Low Income sector representative will sit on the board that oversees program direction, budget priorities, and partnerships that deliver anti poverty services in the region. For households and service providers in Allendale, the composition of that board affects which needs are prioritized and how limited resources are distributed.

The public notice and open meeting format reflect the agency s obligation to transparency and community participation in governance. Holding the election in Aiken at a central church venue likely facilitated attendance from across the region, though travel and scheduling remain practical barriers for some Allendale residents seeking to participate directly. The public invitation indicates the agency s intent to allow community input on governance decisions that have local impact.

Local service providers, program beneficiaries, and municipal partners will want to confirm the election outcome and monitor how the new board member engages on issues relevant to Allendale. Contact information listed in the agency s public notice remains the primary channel for residents to obtain vote results and next steps. Civic engagement in board elections matters because board decisions affect program design, eligibility rules, and partnerships that deliver services on the ground. Allendale residents and stakeholders are positioned to follow up with ABCCAA and attend future board meetings to ensure their interests are represented in regional anti poverty policy and program decisions.
