“Many families in the region live on fixed incomes, so I am working on ways to keep money in the pockets of citizens through regular I-Cash events and Utility Bill Clinics,” said Bristow. “During this past year, we have been able to help people find savings with Utility Bill Clinics, savings on property tax bills, and also discover lost property or cash to be returned to them with I-Cash.”
