The Town of Clifton Park Community Action Fund was established in 2019 to support non-profit community programs and organizations that result in a tangible benefit to Clifton Park and its residents.  The funding for this program is derived through the donation of redeemable beverage containers at the Town’s Transfer Station.  The receptacles used to accept donations are located in the recycling section of the facility.  No taxpayer funds are used to fund the program.  Over $23,800 has been awarded to community programs and organizations in the Town of Clifton Park since 2019.  39 community organizations have benefitted from these funds in the last two years including the Clifton Park Elks Lodge, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Shenendehowa Neighbors Connecting, Inc., Corpus Christi Church, Faith Baptist Food Pantry, and Clifton Park/Halfmoon EMS to name just a few.
