How Guardian's Efforts Make a Difference
A Few Words About How Guardian's Support Touches Lives

The Community Action Committee of Lehigh Valley's mission is to provide anti-poverty programs that include basic services such as food and housing, while simultaneously promoting self-sufficiency and asset building. The way we accomplish this is through providing a continuum of services to help people stand on their own and overcome obstacles. These include homeownership counseling; emergency mortgage assistance; a family savings program that matches families' savings if these funds are used to start a business, buy a home, or improve employability; and a tenant counseling program. Thanks in part to Guardian's generosity, we continue to make inroads in uplifting families and strengthening neighborhoods.

Guardian is one of our local corporate leaders who is always there to help us build up the community. Helping people realize their dreams of homeownership and break the cycle of poverty is a significant way to give back and affect change. Through both financial support, and the effort of associate volunteers, Guardian brings hope to some of the most disadvantaged families in the Lehigh Valley.

No other company has done what Guardian has done for its people. I have friends at many other insurance companies in the region, and none of them have received the level of care and concern that we did. Everyone in the New Orleans Agency — myself included — feel very proud to be associated with a company like ours. While we'd like to forget that Katrina ever happened, the storm did highlight one important fact that none of us is soon to forget — Guardian is an extended family, and one that always takes care of its own.
