Jordan Area Community Council

Jordan Area Community Council was originally established in 1964, and was designated as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization in 1965. The Jordan Area Community Council was initially established by residents organizing in the Jordan neighborhood to prevent the closure of the North Branch Public Library.

The Jordan Area Community Council is led by a Board of Directors made up of Jordan neighborhood residents. They are funded by donors, foundational grant funds, as well as State and Federal grant funds.


The Jordan Area Community Council works on active community engagement, advocacy, and holds events for residents on a monthly basis. They send out an online newsletter monthly. Jordan Area Community Council distributes everyday, essential items to residents who need them, such as food, clothing items, diapers, and first aid kits.
