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.

Improving Food Security in Allison Hill

byDanielle Krebs

Tri County Community Action (TCCA)’s Neighborhood Revitalization Department will open its first farmers market on June 10th. The Allison Hill Farmers Market brings fresh, affordable food to the community in an effort to improve local food security, enhance individual health, and build entrepreneurship among local farmers and residents.

The Market accepts SNAP benefits and offers a SNAP Matching Program (spend $10 on your SNAP EBT card, receive another $10 to spend at the market). The Market Coordinator is working to recruit vendors that accept FMNP vouchers. 

Other forms of payment include cash, major debit and credit cards. You can shop at the Allison Hill Farmers Market every Wednesday during the market season from 3PM-7PM at the Heart of the Community Garden (1421 Derry Street Harrisburg, PA). 

Interested vendors, especially those that accept FMNP vouchers, are encouraged to reach out to the Market Coordinator, Isabel at iblumenthal@cactricounty.org. For more information on the market, visit www.cactricounty.org/ahfm.
