L-R: Erin O'Brien and Dawn Knupp

On this week's episode of In Focus, we sit down with Dawn Knupp and Erin O'Brien of United Against Poverty of St. Lucie County. The group seeks to live up to its name by providing programs that give those down on their luck a helping hand, and guide them to a more prosperous future.

Together, we talk poverty on the Treasure Coast, what they're doing to fight back, and how the community can get involved through events like their Fools Day 5k, set for March 28.
