East Missouri Action Agency

East Missouri Action Agency (EMAA) is located at 25 South Jackson Street in Perryville, Missouri, United States. Our mission is to cultivate communities of opportunity and support individuals in reaching their highest potential. Through our Community Services Department, we offer assistance to low-income individuals and families through various programs such as Family Intake, Community Outreach, Emergency Assistance, Family Support, and Self-Help Programs.

Our Head Start program provides full-day services to over 700 children annually in the eight counties we serve. The Women's Wellness Center offers a range of services including physical exams, screenings, and education on various health topics. The Weatherization Assistance Program helps reduce home energy costs for low-income residents, creating a healthier living environment.

The St. Francois County Public Housing Agency provides rental assistance through the Section 8 Rental Voucher program. Affordable housing and quality jobs are top priorities for us, and we have developed a construction company to address these needs.

EMAA has recently received a generous donation of $15,000 and offers open edition prints by retired Executive Director Bill Bunch for a tax-deductible donation of $15. Visit us to learn more about our programs and services to support the community.
