A Head Start to a Great Holiday!

The Securus External Activities Team organized the purchase of Christmas gifts for the children of the Head Start program here in Lancaster County. Head Start provides comprehensive services to families
with children ages 3-5. Head Start was one of the cornerstones of the war on poverty. Over the years, numerous evaluation studies have noted the effectiveness of the program. In Lancaster County, the program currently serves over 800 children. There are 15 centers which serve families in every part of Lancaster City and County. This program is funded directly by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
