About Us
The Ironton-Lawrence County Community Action Organization has facilities and services throughout all of Lawrence County, allowing us to serve all of our residents.
About us
The Ironton-Lawrence Community Action Organization (ILCAO) is a non-profit founded in 1965 with one mission: to measurably improve the well-being of our community by providing opportunities for, and care to, those in need.
We serve nearly 40,000 individuals in the OH-KY-WV tri-state area annually. We offer a full spectrum of supportive services, including healthcare (medical, dental, pediatric, and behavioral), early childhood education, workforce and youth development, affordable housing, home energy/weatherization assistance, public transportation, and much more.
Community Needs Assessment
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to understanding and addressing the unique needs of our community. To ensure we’re providing the support and resources that matter most, we regularly conduct a comprehensive Community Needs Assessment (CNA).
The CNA isn’t just a survey of numbers and statistics; it’s an in-depth analysis of Lawrence County’s overall vitality. We measure our community’s well-being against peer benchmarks and gather invaluable insights from community input. This assessment ensures that our initiatives align with the real needs and challenges of the people we serve.
The CNA is a roadmap that guides our efforts to make Lawrence County an even better place to live and work.

Report to the Community
In the Report to the Community, we highlight the year’s impact, reflect on our programs, and offer data-driven insights that guide our mission. It’s not just about our accomplishments; it’s a commitment to transparency and accountability.
