At The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC), we believe that informed action starts with understanding. That’s why we’ve gathered and summarized key data from trusted sources to provide a snapshot of the most pressing needs in our communities—Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon and Perry counties.
