Faces of Progress
in our community
Our community’s momentum is only as strong as the support we provide. At Community Progress Council, our programs and services support people faced with the challenges of poverty. Moving beyond emergency stopgaps, relationship-based coaching empowers families to advance to self-sufficiency through guidance, resources, and connections for long-term progress.
