As we #JourneyTo100, celebrating our centennial, we’re sharing some community impact milestones from the past century! Did you know? In 2012, we launched our first #SparkPointOC program location in Westminster. This financial empowerment program helps hard-working, low-income residents to take control of their finances through free one-on-one coaching and other impactful resources. We’re now up to 8 SparkPoint OC sites across Orange County! Learn how you can get involved in our Journey To 100: https://lnkd.in/gYyqHXSz

Books and more books! 📚 Kudos to the Enevate Corporation for collecting 300 books during their summer book drive, which they then passed out to TK-6 students enrolled in Carl Harvey Elementary School’s summer program.
