CHANGE, Inc. Community Action Agency provides services to individuals and families from its base in Weirton, West Virginia. Its purpose is to integrate available services, build partnerships, and consolidate resources so families can pursue healthier, more self-sufficient lives. The agency originated in 1983 when a group of clergy members sought to help workers affected by layoffs from Weirton Steel find new employment. Since then it has expanded to address the needs of economically disadvantaged residents through a broad, community-focused program portfolio. Guided by the broader community action framework associated with the War on Poverty, the organization aims to improve living conditions, increase self-sufficiency, and strengthen supportive systems for low-income populations. A notable recent development is the appointment of Lisa Mowry as chief executive officer, effective January 2022.
