WHY: Alternatives' Money Management Program is a service for limited income seniors who need help managing their finances. Funded in part by the Illinois Department on Aging and insured by AARP, pre-screened and trained volunteers are matched to seniors to help them balance bank accounts, pay bills and manage budgets when these tasks become impossible due to aging issues; such as, dementia or cataracts. Through personal visits, these volunteers help keep seniors on track financially to avoid potential crisis situations like power shutoffs, eviction, or institutionalization. Program volunteers are always needed and those interested can call 309/277-0167 or 800/798-0988.
