We had another great day at the Northern Virginia Housing Expo in Alexandria on Saturday, March 24! Six Financial Literacy volunteers from Britepaths and the Financial Empowerment Center at South County provided free Financial Counseling sessions for 22 Expo attendees.
Britepaths client Cathy was featured in a Feb. 18 Washington Post article examining the potential effects of proposed cuts in the President's FY2019 Budget Request on people who currently receive federal safety-net services.
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.
Britepaths' clients enjoyed a Healthy Eating Workshop with experts from the Virgina Cooperative Extension on August 19, and then took a trip to the farmers marke to purchase fresh produce using their Our Daily Veggies vouchers.
Life is getting so much better for our Financial Mentoring client Ms. G and her daughter, thanks to your support! "I don’t know where I would be right now without Britepaths," she said.
"Your Courage and Perseverance continue to carry you along to accomplishing your goals." Britepaths' Financial Literacy Program Director recently received this wonderful email exchange between our Financial Mentoring client, A, and her Financial Mentor, M.
Britepaths is so grateful to volunteers from the Junior League of Northern Virginia for organizing and presenting a Healthy Eating Workshop at Britepaths for our Project Bridge Program clients on Saturday, May 20.
"He couldn’t stop thanking me for giving him hope and a new outlook..." Read about the great update our volunteer Rick received from a Financial Counseling client he had worried about.
