On Ja. 28, First Niagara provided a $20,000 grant to Pottstown Cluster of Religious Communities to support the Understanding Poverty to Plan and Persevere.
Through interfaith cooperation, the Pottstown Cluster of Religious Communities addresses the basic needs of persons within the greater Pottstown community, while assisting with their spiritual and social needs.
Their programs and referrals are coordinated to help individuals make real progress in moving from dependency to productive self-sufficiency.
Understanding Poverty to Plan and Persevere is an intensive sixteen week workshop to educate persons living in poverty on how to recognize the cultural and economic differences between people living in poverty and people of middle class status.

With this knowledge, persons in poverty can develop realistic plans for achieving stability.
It is the goal of the program to equip participants to reduce dependence and increase self-sufficiency.
