Our Impact This Year
Everything we do is aimed at disrupting and permanently breaking the cycle of poverty for everyone living in our community.
Did you know that right now, 51,419 of your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family members are economically insecure?
Last year, 38% of the people we helped were working and providing the sole source of income for their households - 63% were women, and 51% of households had children in the home. These were and are hard-working, caring, and productive members of our community - they are YOU - and we helped 17,624 of you stabilize, sustain, and take steps toward economic independence.

The Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup is an initiative of the coalition Clean & Green Harrisburg and Keep Harrisburg/Dauphin County Beautiful. The goal of this event is to come together as a community to make Harrisburg a cleaner and safer place to live, work, and play.
This year the 8th Annual Great Harrisburg Litter Cleanup was postponed due to COVID concerns. We’re happy to announce TCCA has rescheduled this event for September 26th from 8-12PM.
We believe effective and sustainable change starts and ends with the involvement of the entire community which is why we need your help. Last year with 315 volunteers we disposed of 26 tons of trash – that’s equivalent to the weight of 4 elephants!
Let’s see what we can accomplish this year.
