Catholic Charities Loan and Financial Education Program recently hosted an in-person financial literacy seminar, Understanding Credit, in their Norwalk Family Center. The class was designed to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking students who often feel more comfortable learning in their native language.
During periods of inflation, every dollar buys less than it did before, eroding purchasing power, affecting savings, and impacting overall financial well-being. “Financial literacy is always an important tool for our clients. However, in hard economic times when inflation is high, the importance of financial literacy cannot be overstated,” states Donoghue. “It is one of the reasons why Catholic Charities offers two financial literacy programs, one in Danbury and one in Norwalk. We have seen how crucial financial literacy is for the long-term success of our clients.”
The Family Loan Program of Danbury stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment for families seeking to improve their financial well-being and access essential resources. Through financial education, special car loans, and a commitment to inclusivity, the program has enabled families like Tanairy’s to embrace a brighter future.
