Fostering Financial Empowerment

Thousands of Story County families aren’t in the financial position to weather even a small storm, struggling paycheck to paycheck.

The work to build financially stable families can range from emergency support to helping families stay in school or maintain employment to strengthening their financial literacy. The final result of this is improved financial capacity and the ability to save for future emergencies.
