Virginia Natural Gas recently committed $250,000 to assist local nonprofit ForKids in opening two Financial Opportunity Centers in Chesapeake and Suffolk. The centers will help low-to-moderate income families in securing financial stability through workshops and coaching. Families will learn to build effective money habits and achieve their career, financial and personal goals. ForKids plans to hire four coaches for these FOCs and assist 100 participants a year. 'Virginia Natural Gas is thankful of our long-standing relationship with ForKids and grateful for the work that they are doing to improve lives in our community,' Robert Duvall, president of Virginia Natural Gas, said in a news release.
