What does it really mean to confront the underlying causes of poverty?

In October, IFC will bring together staff, board members, community partners, and some of our most invested supporters for an intimate conversation about the complex challenges facing our neighbors—and what it will take to create lasting change amid our region’s current challenges.

Our panel will include:

• Donna Carrington, IFC Board Co-Chair; Executive Director, Community Empowerment Fund
• Alyssa Hinton, Activate! IFC Program Lead
• Jackie Jenks, IFC President and CEO
• Moderator: Rachel Waltz, IFC Board Secretary; Systems Improvement Advisor, Community Solutions, Inc.

We’ll explore the issues behind food insecurity, housing instability, and poverty in our community; the work IFC is doing to address them; and where we see opportunities to do more.

At IFC, we know that ending poverty takes more than responding to immediate needs. It takes all of us working together to confront its causes and build a stronger community.
