Our staff had the opportunity to do a financial presentation for employees at ALIVE! on everyday money management. Education is key to an individual’s financial wellness, and everyone present was able to learn a little bit about everyday money management from budgeting to savings tips. **About ALIVE!** Founded in 1969, ALIVE! is the oldest and largest nonprofit serving Alexandrians facing food insecurity and housing instability. With support from 50 interfaith congregations, thousands of volunteers, and caring neighbors, ALIVE! helps more than 20,000 people each month access groceries, financial assistance, and other essential support.
