In Crisis
CAP in the Community
Community is at the heart of our work. We believe that our community is at its best when every person in it has the opportunity to live a life where they have choice in how they meet their goals and where each generation can continue to grow their well-being on their journey to thriving.
We cannot do this work alone. From community education to community coalition leadership, we engage with and welcome alongside us community partners to bring to life an equitable, just, and prosperous Lancaster community for everyone.
Community Needs Assessment
Our three-year community needs assessment gives an in-depth look at Lancaster County, identifying gaps, highlighting strengths, and sharing insight on the state of our community. At CAP, we use it to ensure our work continues to align with the needs of our community, and we publish it for use by community partners as a resource in their work.
Hunger-Free Lancaster County
CAP is the lead agency of Hunger-Free Lancaster County, a cross-sector collective of nearly 30 community organizations and businesses dedicated to increasing food security and economic mobility throughout Lancaster County.
Poverty Simulations
Poverty simulations are a unique group education opportunity where participants learn more about the experience of living with low income through role playing. Additionally, we welcome community volunteers to help facilitate poverty simulations as community resources.
