FINANCIAL FITNESS DAY 2012 is coming!
Saturday, March 31
10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Rainier Community Center, 4600 38th Ave., Seattle
The Seattle-King County Asset Building Collaborative, with more than forty community partners, is once again sponsoring Financial Fitness Day, providing a wide array of FREE services to the public to help them understand, manage, and improve their financial situations.
Financial Fitness Day will offer one-on-one help filing tax returns (including for self-employed), printing and analyzing free credit reports, opening bank accounts, creating a household budget, working with a financial planner, applying for public benefits (food, ut ilities, child care, health insurance, social security), learning how to start a business, shredding confidential documents, and-new this year-completing a FAFSA application.
Services will be provided by experts, including attorneys, financial planners, housing counselors, credit counselors, public health workers, and volunteer tax preparers. Workshops will be offered throughout the day on a variety of financial topics, such as understanding credit reports, budgeting and money management, first-time homeownership, paying for college, and dealing with debt collectors. More than 40 community groups will offer resources and advice.
