KOOTASCA Community Action, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, founded in 1965 by local citizens. It addresses poverty by delivering crisis support, anti-poverty services, and referrals to partners to help individuals, families, and communities improve their circumstances and work toward greater self-sufficiency. The organization's mission centers on collaborative community action to shift attitudes about poverty, influence systems that affect those in poverty, and engage community members in creating opportunities for everyone. Its programs are designed to connect people facing poverty with essential support and resources, while fostering relationships that enable long-term change. In 2026, KOOTASCA expanded its offices to Grand Rapids, Michigan, relocating its Circles of Support program to the new site to broaden food access and strengthen community-building efforts under one roof.
