2025 CREDIT RESTORATION & Wellness SUMMIT
Event Summary & Details
On October 9th 2025, we hosted our annual Credit Restoration Summit Event, with an additional wellness twist! Along with our usual credit process demo, free food, drinks, and raffles, we were able to add in new exciting elements, like a free throw challenge, a line dancing tutorial, and a wellness speech from Richmond's own Mayor—Danny Avula.
Thank you again to all of the many vendors who joined us to share their insights and information on their organizations, along with the City of Richmond's Office of Community Wealth Building for sponsoring the summit event!

NEW LIFE FOR ADULTS & YOUTH PROGRAM
Financial Literacy Classes
In March 2024, two members of our team, Robert and Jo Anne, taught two financial literacy classes to the participants of the New Life for Adults & Youth program in Richmond, VA. All of the participants were wonderful to teach—they were all engaging, communicative, and excited to learn. We were thrilled to have students that were so responsive to our lessons, asking many insightful questions and follow-up questions.
Student Feedback
Following the financial literacy classes, the students had many kind words to say about our teachings. One said, "Attending the financial literacy class was truly eye-opening. I've always felt overwhelmed by money matters, but the facilitators broke down complex concepts into manageable chunks." Another one added, "I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to take control of their finances and build a brighter financial future."
2025 City of Richmond Financial Fair
This was an amazing event for various workshops, networking, information, & resources. We are so thankful to the Office Of Community Wealth Building (OCWB) for the annual invite and ongoing support for our non-profit—we've been able to help many more Richmond residents through your sponsorship.
