Community Progress Council

A reminder for our York City WIC participants: This week onward, you'll find us at Community Progress Council's main building at 226 East College Avenue.

Families will have the same great benefits of WIC, plus easier connections to Head Start, coaching, Housing & Financial Education, and all the resources that CPC can offer and connect you to.

In more good news, our partners at York Fresh Food Farms will set up their Mobile Market at CPC from 2 to 3:30PM every Wednesday. York Fresh Food Farms is a great partner for fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable pricing for everyone to enjoy, so don't miss their set-up each Wednesday through the end of October.

Help make the holidays brighter for nearly 500 children! 🎁

CPC’s 2026 Holiday Sponsorship Program is here, and we’re inviting our community to help provide educational, age-appropriate gift for every child in our early childhood education programs.

In honor of World Teachers' Day, we’d like to give thanks to all of our early childhood education team members serving the children and families enrolled in our programs.

Our team brings their expertise, education, and whole hearts to our programs to help our young learners grow intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially — and have fun along the way!

Thank you for your hard work, your dedication, your patience, your empathy, your expertise, and all that you do to support our children and their families as they work toward progress.

Will we see you at the York City Police Department (York, Pa) Fall Fest this weekend?

Team CPC is excited to join dozens of community organizations for resources, food, music, a bounce house, zipline, hayride and even a haunted house, all free to families and neighbors in York City.

Stop by from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, October 3, along West King and South Beaver streets in downtown York.

Thank you to Rotary Club of York - North for welcoming us this morning to share about our mission and our impact in York County!

Poverty is a community problem that takes community solutions. It was an honor to share our journey to innovate and adapt our service delivery model and share the powerful outcomes that community support makes possible.

Last week, we celebrated four participants who've achieved self-sufficiency this year. Collectively, these four families have increased their income by more than $89,000 while working with Community Progress Council.

That’s more income invested into our businesses and communities, more taxes paid at a local, state, and federal level, and a greater impact on our local economy.

Their success helps the entire community: When families get ahead, York County does, too.

A night to remember! We were honored to host our second annual Self-Sufficiency Celebration, presented by The Arthur J. & Lee R. Glatfelter Foundation — a powerful evening recognizing the journeys of people who’ve put in tremendous work to achieve economic stability.

From inspiring stories to the community impact of these accomplishments, the event was filled with hope, pride, and clear results of CPC's programs and coaching support. Thank you to our sponsors who made it possible.

We are looking forward to our second annual Self-Sufficiency Celebration, presented by The Arthur J. & Lee R. Glatfelter Foundation. This evening event would not be possible without the generous support of our "Nutrition Neighbor" sponsors, First Capital Federal Credit Union.

We’re grateful to have partners who support our mission of empowering families and individuals to move toward self-sufficiency.
