First Alliance Credit Union Foundation announces the launch of Benefits Finder, a free online tool designed to help members and community members quickly and easily discover local, state, and federal government programs they may qualify for.
By answering a few simple questions, users can explore potential financial support options for everyday needs like groceries, childcare, healthcare, utilities, tax credits, housing, and more.
As a program of First Alliance Credit Union Foundation, Benefits Finder is designed to make it easier for people to find and access programs that can help ease financial pressure and create more room in their monthly budget. Available as a self-service resource online, the tool matches users with potential benefits based on details like household information, income, and zip code, then helps them prepare for the application process.

In addition to the online tool, users who have questions during the application process can receive free live chat support from Starlight’s Benefit Specialists.
