In this edition of Closer Look, Ron Turner speaks with Christopher Ackman, Communications and Volunteers Manager of Hawkeye Area Community Action Program (HACAP), which serves nine counties in eastern Iowa. They discuss rising challenges like poverty, housing instability, childcare access, and disaster recovery. HACAP addresses these through energy assistance, Head Start, affordable housing, food pantries, veteran services, and tax help. Ackman highlights how wraparound services support families moving toward stability, especially during crises. He shares powerful success stories and encourages those in need to contact them to find help and resources. (https://www.hacap.org)
