The BEST Project focuses on proactive and collaborative efforts to meet the needs of working individuals and families utilizing strategies that empower them to achieve long-term financial stability.

We are a community coalition of businesses, agencies, government, non-profit and other organizations focused on increasing the financial well-being of our community by leading an effort to help lower-to-modest income residents preserve and increase their financial assets.

The BEST Project is about the well-being and quality of life of Big Bend residents – a home, a better future for our children, peace of mind, a secure retirement.  It will take our entire community working together to accomplish all of this.   That’s why we’re working with United Way agencies and community partners to create lasting changes in people’s lives.  Together, we can accomplish more than any single group can on its own.  That’s what it means to LIVE UNITED.
