purpose:   TO PROVIDE GENERAL SHORT-TERM EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE TO ADDISON FAMILIES AND SENIORS WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF ADDISON TOWNSHIP IN NEED OF FOOD AND CLOTHING, AS WELL AS, PROVIDING REFERRAL SERVICES FOR LONG-TERM PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT.

In 1970, a group of concerned Addison residents gathered together to create a local non-profit organization for the purpose of serving Addison families in need of assistance.  The result of their effort was the formation of the Addison Community Switchboard (ACS).  ACS has been providing a wide range of services to the resident within Addison, living in Addison Township.  These services include short-term aid for food and clothing, as well as other assistance.
