On The Spark, Vanessa Philbert of Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County and Robin Rohrbaugh of Community Progress Council discuss the challenges facing low-income families in Central Pennsylvania and the programs designed to support them. The conversation focuses especially on families with young children and how services like Head Start, WIC, and two-generation approaches aim to interrupt cycles of poverty.

The discussion also looks at how Community Action Agencies have evolved over the decades and why advocates say addressing poverty requires community-wide solutions.
