Volunteers from national nonprofit ACCC provided tips on various financial topics
Boston, MA – June 14, 2019
National nonprofit American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) announced today it took part in WCVB’s Project CommUNITY: Financial Literacy and Guidance, a ‘televent’ hosted by NewsCenter 5 anchor Ben Simmoneau.
“We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate in WCVB’s initiative to combat poverty in Boston and provide consumers with information on important financial topics,” said Steve Trumble, President, and CEO of American Consumer Credit Counseling. “It’s crucial that those in need are connected to the right resources to help guide them to financial health and stability.”
ACCC volunteers took part in the event by answering phones from the Channel 5 studio, providing callers with insights and tips on a number of financial topics, including improving credit, eliminating debt and building savings. Today’s event was part of WCVB’s Project CommUNITY, which is a year-long public service initiative aimed at lifting the veil on poverty and breaking down stereotypes of those living close to or on the poverty line by providing resources to individuals in and around Boston.
