Stop just getting by. Start Getting Ahead!

Getting Ahead is part of Second Harvest’s Forward STEPS community learning initiative, which works with participants to examine their past to create a new and better future for themselves and their families. Each week a group of people comes together to determine what keeps them stuck and what they can do to get ahead.

Over the course of the 16-week Getting Ahead program, you will:

  • Receive a total of $400 in gift cards to help you get your finances under control.
  • Receive food to stock your pantry.
  • Build resources and develop long-lasting relationships.
  • Receive one-on-one support to overcome barriers to success.
  • Learn about the hidden rules of economic class and how to navigate them.
  • Create goals for a new, self-sufficient future.

Delaware County Class starts August 16 | Henry County Class starts in Fall 2023
