'Economic Security Corporation of Southwest Area (ESC) is a private nonprofit Community Action Agency, which was created in October 1965 to serve the needs of lowincome individuals and families. The mission of the agency is ''to help families currently caught in poverty to find a way out, and to work in our communities to prevent the conditions of poverty from affecting future generations.'' Our main goal is to help individuals function financially, physically, mentally, and socially at their own level and aid their attempts to attain new levels which will allow them to become selfsufficient.'
