Delray teams up with nonprofit agency to push good financial practices

The city of Delray Beach and Consumer Credit Management Services are celebrating National Financial Literacy Month in April with "Operation: Money Makeover." The free contest, which begins on Friday and will continue for a year, focuses on promoting personal financial stability.

CCMS, a local nonprofit agency, will be offering workshops on managing finances, reducing debt and increasing savings. Seminars and workshops are free, but contest participants will earn points toward winning.
