About This Initiative
Riverton Financial Wellness helps households in Riverton get a real handle on money. We sit down one-to-one, write a rent-and-food budget together, and help open or stabilize a bank account. Short workshops cover credit, banking, and how to stay out of payday-loan traps — practical steps, not a lecture. When a family already has a plan and a small payment will stop a late fee, shutoff, or payday loan, we make that payment. If the next step is side income, we help with pricing, documenting earnings, and the first legal paperwork. For neighbors coming home, we help with ID, a first-month budget, work-ready clothing, and a handoff to local work and housing help. Your gift puts that coaching and those emergency payments in front of people who need them now — so a hard week doesn’t become a longer crisis.
