NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. - General Treasurer Gina M. Raimondo recently met with parents of South County Head Start students to discuss the program and inform them of financial resources provided by the Capital Good Fund.

“Finding ways to encourage financial empowerment is a priority for me,” said Raimondo. “The Head Start program is a terrific support system for children and their families, and it is important for the parents to know that additional resources such as the Financial Coaching Corps are available to them. Meeting one-on-one with a coach can help parents make smart financial decisions that benefit the entire family.”
