Simple Organized Savings is an organization that offers
simplified educational classes on a variety of different life skills. Classes
are taught in a hands-on, practical way that engages the student. They believe
we were designed to do life together, not alone; therefore, through the classes
and mentorship programs they are able to equip students with the tools and
resources they need to be successful.
SOS offers a variety of classes starting
with foundational classes on time management as well as classes on meal
planning, cooking and freezing, and basic finance courses to name a few. SOS
also has the unique ability to work directly with organizations, companies, and
schools to customize classes to fit their clients’ needs. For example, they are
currently working with a local food pantry to offer a class on how to
effectively use your SNAP money at the grocery store and local farmers market.
Students will learn how to stretch their SNAP money and prepare the fresh food
they buy with their SNAP dollars. Working with many professionals in our
community enables them to create classes on almost any topic needed.
Since the founding of Simple Organized
Savings in 2009 they have partnered with Healthy Living Alliance, Farmers
Market of the Ozarks, Springfield Public Schools, Food Core, YMCA, Weller
Elementary, Roberson Elementary, The Springfield Library, and 88.3 The Wind
among others.
SOS firmly believes in investing in the
community of people we are “doing life” with. They have seen first-hand the
successful results of those who participate in their classes. They invite you
