NEWTON, MA – The Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation has awarded $25,000 to American Consumer Credit Counseling, Inc. (ACCC), an Auburndale nonprofit dedicated to helping clients regain control of their finances and plan a debt-free future.
The money will support ACCC’s Help, Education, Action, Reminders and Goals (HEART) program, which provides weekly coaching and advice to improve the financial well-being of members of the community.
“ACCC is grateful for the support of the Rockland Trust Foundation so that we can grow within Massachusetts communities that have experienced financial hardship and insecurities,” said Katie Ross, Executive Vice President of ACCC, in a press release. “This award will allow us to provide practical coaching and money management skills that aim to improve consumers’ financial independence and stability.”
Since 2010, the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation has provided nearly $160,000 in grants to ACCC as part of its long-standing commitment to empowering communities through financial literacy.
“The Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation is proud to provide continued support to ACCC for more than a decade,” said Edward H. Seksay, Chairman and President of the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation, in a statement. “Our partnership with the ACCC makes financial education accessible to vulnerable populations and strengthens the neighborhoods in which we work and live.”
ACCC works with community partners in Middlesex, Suffolk and Bristol counties who provide financial literacy, educational workshops, coaching and advice. The HEART program will consist of three eight-week sessions serving 60 consumers over a six-month period that began in January 2022.
