 Financial Freedom   Workshops 

This highly interactive workshop is designed to support attendees in developing personal financial goals and a concrete plan to achieve them.  Prior attendees have rated this workshop extremely highly remarking that they feel more confident about their financial skills and that attendance was a great use of their time.  Many have stated that, though they felt they had their finances under control before attending, they were glad they came because it added more tools to their toolbox. 

The workshop is presented by request to active duty or veteran groups of all sizes. 

STEP distributes goods to military bases throughout the community to ensure that every military and veteran family has what they need. We have shifted to Drive-Thru WOWs in response to COVID-19.
