“We’re excited about the opportunity to work with UWWC and the families and workers UWWC serves,” said TrustPlus president Kate Griffin in a release. “Our coaches are expert guides who support our clients on the path to financial empowerment, navigating with them obstacles to debt reduction, strengthening credit, and saving for a rainy day.”

Two half-hour virtual sessions will be held on Wednesday, one at noon and the other at 6 p.m., that share more about the service. RSVP and learn more here.

Coaches provide free on-demand support over the phone, through text or during video calls on topics including building credit, budgeting and making emergency safety nets and reducing debt, said the release.
