Financial Resources Workshop
The workshops are conducted in an informal, relaxed, welcoming, and inclusive environment that encourages participation from family, friends, and neighbors
We also strive to bring our community together through awareness of the program, by engaging community members to get involved to assist, and to strengthen community partnerships to help our neighbors struggling with affordability.
“The workshop motivates you to do something.”
— Gwendolyn, Workshop attendee
We recognize the challenges our neighbors face when expenses are greater than income especially in an environment with rising consumer prices, costs of home and auto repairs, as well as the devastating effect an unexpected expense can have on a household. Our Financial Resources Workshop (FRW) aims to help by providing relevant and practical information, ideas, tools, and resources for participants to take immediate action to help bring financial balance to their household.
