Developing Resources and Opportunities for People and Communities

Minnesota Valley Action Council (MVAC), a Community Action Agency, helps those in need secure affordable housing, viable transportation, employment and training for employment, as well as creating educational opportunities for children and parents. Established in 1965 under the Equal Opportunity Act, MVAC serves the people of Region Nine in Southern Minnesota.

MVAC is not part of the government, nor is it a political entity. MVAC is a private non-profit organization that uses local, state, and federal resources to provide assistance for people in low-wage work. People in need from Blue Earth, Brown, Faribault, Le Sueur, Martin, Nicollet, Sibley, Waseca and Watonwan counties rely on MVAC for resources and opportunities that help improve their situation and quality of life.
