Addison Community Action

Addison Community Action (ACA) is one of CVOEO’s three Community Action programs. We are located at 50 Industrial Avenue in Middlebury. While we assist folks who “walk in” as best we can, it is always best to call if you can before you come to ensure we can provide the service you need.

Services

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program finished the 2026 tax season with over 300 tax returns submitted. (Thanks to our wonderful volunteers.) We will be out and about over the Summer in Addison County to let people know about the services we offer -Housing Advocacy, Crisis Fuel, Food, assistance submitting taxes. Remember that our ability to help during the fuel season is dependent upon our clients' having already signed up for Seasonal Fuel. Need help applying for medical insurance, 3Squares, housing? Contact us. We can help!
