New River Community Action (NRCA) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Pearisburg, VA, serving Radford City and the Counties of Montgomery, Giles, Floyd, and Pulaski in rural southwestern Virginia. Committed to promoting self-sufficiency, NRCA offers a hand up, not a handout, to local families in need through community organization and empowerment, addressing poverty conditions and supporting vulnerable residents such as the homeless, ex-offenders, the disabled, and struggling young families.
With a network of approximately 1,000 local volunteers, NRCA provides a range of programs that benefit over 9,000 individuals annually. Services include comprehensive early childhood programs like Head Start and CHIP, homeless and housing programs, VA CARES services for ex-offenders, emergency assistance, food pantries, volunteer income tax assistance, and initiatives like the Floyd County Backpack Program and To Our House homeless thermal shelter.
