Here's something that we hope will be both interesting and helpful for you - One Good Resource. APP exists to inform, and we intend this regular email communication to do just that - a little at a time. Knowing that we are sometimes overwhelmed with information - even good information - APP will send you one good resource each week. Each installment of OGR will focus on poverty in Alabama. It could be a link to an Internet site; it might be a recommended book; it could be information about an upcoming event. In any case, we'll try hard to make it worth your while to check it out.
In case you missed any, here is the index of OGR's to date.
