The hibiscus in the logo of Maui Economic Opportunity Inc. is a familiar sight on buses transporting Maui County’s young, old and persons with disabilities.
But MEO is so much more. We are a member of the National Community Action Network, a robust force of more than 1,000 local community action agencies across the nation focused on anti-poverty initiatives that stabilize people with low incomes while helping them achieve economic security; ensure communities are healthy; offer economic opportunity, and engage people with low incomes in building opportunities in the community.
Community Action, a product of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, changes people’s lives, embodies the spirit of hope, improves communities and makes America a better place to live. We care about the entire community, and we are dedicated to helping people help themselves and each other.
