Impact Poverty
The goal of Impact Poverty is to develop a 10-Year Plan to reduce poverty in Paducah/McCracken County and break the cycle of generational poverty for its citizens. A group of 37 volunteers representing industry, health care, education, law enforcement, religious organizations, housing, and the community at large will spend many hours together from June 2010 through June 2011 working on this task. Come back and visit this page often to track the study and findings.
