Small savings today can make a big difference tomorrow!

October 12 is National Savings Day, a reminder that building a stronger financial future doesn't necessarily require big changes. Sometimes, the smallest steps can lead to the greatest progress.

Whether you're saving for a down payment on a home, building an emergency fund, preparing for unexpected expenses, or working toward another financial goal, developing consistent savings habits can help you achieve greater financial stability.

At NeighborWorks Waco, we understand that saving money can be challenging, especially when balancing everyday expenses. That's why we offer financial education, counseling, and resources to help individuals and families better understand their finances, establish realistic goals, and make informed financial decisions.

This National Savings Day, remember that every dollar saved brings you one step closer to your goals.

Hispanic Heritage Month Spotlight: Luis Guevara

For Luis Guevara, giving back to the community means serving the neighborhood he has called home for most of his life.

Born in Mexico and raised in Waco’s Oakwood neighborhood, Luis brings a deep connection to his community and a passion for service to his role on the NeighborWorks Waco Board of Directors.

Luis became involved with NeighborWorks Waco through his work with the Oakwood Neighborhood Association, where he connected with longtime community advocate and NeighborWorks Waco Honorary Board Member Connie Lozano. Encouraged to take his community involvement a step further, Luis joined the Board of Directors in 2026 as a representative of the Oakwood neighborhood.

With a strong belief in the importance of accessible housing and opportunities for homeownership, Luis is committed to helping NeighborWorks Waco continue making a meaningful difference for local individuals and families.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we are proud to recognize Luis for his dedication to community service, neighborhood advocacy and the belief that strong communities are built by people who care.

Thank you, Luis, for your commitment to Oakwood and the families of Waco!
