Sunday, February 21st kicked off Philadelphia Saves Week. The theme of this year’s saves week is to “smart small, think big.”
Philadelphia Saves is a coalition of community groups, non-profit and government agencies, local financial institutions, and trained volunteers who are committed to helping Delaware Valley residents “Build Wealth, Not Debt.” Through information, advice, and encouragement, Philadelphia Saves assists people who wish to pay down debt, build an emergency fund, or save for a home, education, investment, or retirement in order to improve their standard of living and most importantly, gain peace of mind.
The Philadelphia Inquirer talks about Philadelphia Saves Week in its recent article Saving can be a boon in a bad economy:
[Philadelphia Saves Week] encourages businesses and individuals to make saving more of a priority. Now is an excellent time for companies to promote the benefits and importance of saving to their employees and customers. For those in need of guidance, programs such as Philadelphia Saves are available to offer support, encouragement, and expert advice.
Multiple workshops are offered free to individuals throughout Saves Week. To view workshops that are being offered in the Philadelphia area, click here.
