Britepaths' services are designed to help individuals and families in the Fairfax County area and Northern Virginia who are dealing with financial instability stemming from underemployment, unemployment, debt and limited living-wage job options. Often, they live paycheck to paycheck. Any kind of unexpected expense, such as a car repair, rent hike or medical expenses, can throw them into a crisis. Britepaths can help them stabilize and improve their outlook for the future. Learn more and get involved at: britepaths.org.
