MENZFIT RECEVEIVES $10,000 FROM ACE CASH EXPRESS

In support of communities where they have stores, ACE Cash Express (ACE), a Populus Financial Group brand, recently donated $10,000 to MenzFit, an organization which provides career development, professional clothing and financial literacy education to individuals seeking to enter the nation’s workforce. MenzFit’s primary mission is to ensure long-term gainful employment and financial fitness to low-income men in the Philadelphia, PA and Washington, DC areas. The $10,000 donation was designated to assist MenzFit as the organization gears up for a series of post-pandemic financial literacy sessions to educate clients on budgeting, understanding credit, home ownership and investments in a post-COVID environment.

"For more than a decade, ACE has supported the programs and services of MenzFit. Their support over the years has made a difference for us to keep a stable footprint in the community. I am proud to acknowledge their unconditional commitment to the good work that we do,” says MenzFit Founder Rhonda Willingham.

Founded in 2001, MenzFit changes lives, families and communities. They service disadvantaged men that are veterans, terminated or laid-off workers, recent immigrants, recovering addicts, the disabled, homeless, returning citizens and public assistance recipients.

“ACE is proud to support MenzFit in their mission to provide resources for those entering or re-entering the job market,” said Eric Norrington, Senior Vice President for Populus Financial Group. “This is another outstanding program supported by the ACE Community Fund to improve the cities where we have stores and the neighborhoods where our employees and customers live and work.”
MenzFit has been a partner of ACE Cash Express for 13 years as part of ACE’s corporate giving program, the ACE Community Fund.
