Team MONECO - Giving Back
One of our core beliefs here at MONECO Advisors is getting involved in our local community, and to highlight some of the great work our team and our local partners are doing to make contributions to the towns that we have been fortunate enough to live and work in.
One of the many causes we support is Dress for Success Mid-Fairfield County. The mission of Dress for Success is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
MONECO team members volunteer at the Bridgeport, CT location to help support women in the community by putting together interview clothes and providing hands on training for women who are re-entering the workforce and young adults just starting out at their first job. We do workshops on financial literacy, resume building, and interview skills to build self-confidence and help women break out of poverty and low-income situations.

As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to the office.
