Weekly Shopping Helps You Reach Your Goals

Birch includes weekly food support that helps families stretch their budget while they build new skills.

Families often reduce grocery spending by 50 percent to 75 percent or more, giving them the breathing room needed to focus on their financial goals. Many families use that savings to pay down debt, build emergency funds, and reduce financial stress.

Food support is a financial tool that makes it easier to practice the skills you learn at Birch.
