Community Progress Council

Community Progress Council, York County’s community action agency, empowers individuals and families to move toward self-sufficiency and advocates for change to promote community growth.

At Community Progress Council (CPC), we help low-income families to identify their strengths and achieve their goals, moving beyond crisis and working toward economic self-sufficiency. Lucia shares how her coach and the services provided by CPC gave her the tools and resources to make progress — not just for a moment, but for life.

Community Progress Council empowers people to move toward self-sufficiency. Be a part of Progress and make a gift to support this work as part of Give Local York on May 4 and 5, 2023!

Will we see you at the Hanover Diversity Festival this weekend?

Team CPC is excited to join the Hanover Area Diversity Alliance and other community organizations for an afternoon of multicultural entertainment, multi-ethnic foods, a kids zone, and community resources.

Stop by from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, at Wirt Park in Hanover.

Once a month, Community of Hope runs a hygiene dis

Once a month, Community of Hope runs a hygiene distribution event to support families in the Hannah Penn neighborhood, held in partnership with @familyfirsthealth. The distribution provides families in need with toiletries and household items.

This support provides an easy first touchpoint as our team builds relationships with families in the neighborhoods surrounding CPC. Connecting people to coaching and the full breadth of resources and support that CPC offers is key for people on their journey out of poverty as they move from crisis to independence to purpose.

That's progress — not just for a moment, but for life.

The Walking School Bus for students at Hannah Penn

The Walking School Bus for students at Hannah Penn K - 8 is back in action!

It's simple: Volunteer "walk leaders" from Community of Hope and our partners at @familyfirsthealth pick up students at designated stops along a specific route and walk them to school.

Why do we do it?

This effort encourages students to walk safely to school, and increases students attending school daily and arriving on time.

And, building trust and relationships with families in the neighborhood surrounding Community Progress Council is a key part of our work to provide the resources and support for families on their journey out of poverty and toward self-sufficiency.

That's progress — not just for a moment, but for life.
