Groups plan fight against poverty

Local residents can look forward to a dental service fair, a county food bank, potentially increased affordability of public transportation, and educators with the training to be able to fight the patterns of poverty in their classrooms. Hanford hosted a "Bridges Out Of Poverty" conference May 30 that wasn't all talk and no action. The conference -- put on by Kings Community Action Organization, local Family Resource Centers and Kings County Behavioral Health -- focused on new poverty research, examining theories of change and analyzing poverty.
