📰 Working Credit is making headlines in Pine Bluff!

A year and a half after his release from incarceration, Working Credit participant Jorge Nieto says he has already surpassed financial goals he once thought were years away.

💬 “Having the financial stability to afford an extra vehicle or to spend quality time with my family at a fair or other social event is massive for me.”

His story is one example of what’s possible when financial education, credit building and strong community relationships come together.

As Working Credit’s Shanta’ Rice says, “A lot of people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. We build relationships.”

See how that work is making a difference in Pine Bluff. 👇
