(Seguin) – A local non-profit group has received a top award from AACOG. The Community Council of South Central Texas (CCSCT) recently announced its selection as the Alamo Area Council of Governments, AACOG’s Non-Profit of the Year.
CCSCT officials say this prestigious honor is shared with Reaching Maximum Independence Group, reflecting the exceptional impact both organizations have made in the communities they serve.
CCSCT’s nomination came from its valued community partner, CVS Aetna, in recognition of the organization’s outstanding efforts in assisting the houseless population and fostering strategic partnerships across the greater South Central and West Texas region. This accolade underscores CCSCT’s commitment to empowering vulnerable families and individuals by breaking down barriers to self-sufficiency through innovative programs and collaborative efforts.
“Being named Non-Profit of the Year by AACOG is a profound honor and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, volunteers, and partners,” said Bobby Deike, Executive Director of CCSCT. “This recognition reinforces our mission to create sustainable pathways for those in need, and we are grateful to CVS Aetna for acknowledging our impact.”
For 60 years, CCSCT has been a beacon of hope for residents in the greater South Central Texas area, offering comprehensive services that include housing assistance, energy support, financial literacy programs, and much more. With a service footprint spanning 31 counties, CCSCT’s innovative approach to addressing community needs has made it a leader in community action.
This recognition by AACOG celebrates the organization’s tireless work to tackle homelessness head-on through tailored services and a steadfast commitment to building a network of support for the region’s most vulnerable populations. By leveraging partnerships with organizations like CVS Aetna, CCSCT continues to forge new paths toward stronger, more resilient communities.
The award was formally presented at AACOG’s 50th Anniversary Awards Ceremony held earlier this month in San Antonio.
