HABITAT PARTNERS WITH LOCAL BANKS TO OFFER FREE FINANCIAL TRAINING WORKSHOPS

Habitat for Humanity will be presenting three workshops this season as part of its ongoing series of financial education workshops.  "We couldn't do it without the strong support and partnership of our local financial institutions; Chemical Bank, Fifth Third Bank and West Shore Bank", states Jamie Healy, Executive Director of Habitat of Mason County.

These workshops are designed to equip participants with proactive, practical strategies to get them where they want to be financially.  The objective is to help participants visualize a brighter future and realize that their current financial difficulties do not have to be permanent.  

There is no cost to attend, but registration is required.
