Financial Stability
In Wabash County, and communities around the world, individuals and families are facing financial obstacles such as chronic unemployment, financial instability and homelessness. We are working to remove these hurdles that prevent a good quality of life for our citizens.
How? The programs we support are fighting to put every person on a path toward financial empowerment.
