(Southeast Arkansas Financial Education Center) was founded by Clarissa Pace, a local resident who saw the need to enrich her community with information that may normally be costly to obtain.
Their mission is to engage, enrich and empower families for financial success, fulfilling careers, healthy lifestyles and well-balanced relationships.
The S.A.F.E. Center has successfully hosted youth money camps across SEARK for 6 years. They have also hosted ACT camps, retirement webinars, and more. They have served the elderly through the pandemic by providing them with donations to assist them through it.
In 2016, Dr. Chris Allen was named director. He and the founder work closely together to continue to provided opportunities to the community through resource, education and service. “We are so appreciative of all the donors and volunteers through the years. Our banks, businesses, schools, churches and community leaders have been very generous. We could not have done the work without it. However, we are especially excited that Simmons Bank made such a sizable donation to the work we do. They have always contributed to our events, but this one, showed us how much they support what we have done and what we are continuing to do,” said Founder, Clarissa. “We are always looking for sponsors and grant opportunities to continue the vision.”
“There are several opportunities coming up for the community. Everyone is welcome to visit our website at safecenterinc.org and like our social media page on Facebook. We are excitd to continue serving,” stated Dr. Allen.
