Women in Philanthropy (WIP), the initiative of the Scranton Area Community Foundation focused on serving women, girls, and their families in Northeastern PA, and The Agency for Community Empowerment (ACE), invite you to attend a presentation regarding a recent regional study on the obstacles women and families face today regarding attaining quality affordable childcare, conducted in collaboration with Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC). Women in Philanthropy and the Scranton Area Community Foundation are interested in addressing the challenges families face in obtaining quality affordable childcare across the Lackawanna County region. At this event, we will share the study’s findings while inviting a discussion on opportunities for community-based solutions that minimize the barriers to quality affordable childcare.
