All of us at Britepaths are saddened by the passing of our wonderful Financial Literacy volunteer Todd Snedden, and we offer our heartfelt condolences to his family. Todd began volunteering with us in January 2017, and served enthusiastically as a Financial Mentor, Instructor and Financial Counselor.

From a client scraping by to a major donor! After helping her in a somewhat different way from the normal services we provide, she mailed Britepaths a check for $10,000. We have certainly received donations from former clients looking to “pay it forward,” but Ms. T’s story is simply amazing!
We are so proud of our newest Project BRIDGE Program graduates, DéShaun and DaJuan, who have worked so hard in the past year and a half to greatly improve their financial outlook.
Give from your Heart without emptying your Wallet! That was the prevailing theme at our Budgeting for the Holidays workshop on Saturday, November 11, 2017 at the Financial Empowerment Center at South County.
