We can help you overcome todayâ€™s emergency need for food. But what happens tomorrow? Our agency also offers comprehensive services to move permanently from needing emergency assistance, government programs or private charity, to a life that is dignified by economic independence and self-determination. Food is distributed at DCCA every Thursday from 9AM to noon, and 2PM to 4PM. Davidson County Community Action has been a champion for low-wage workers and their families since 1965.
