Penn State Behrend will host a free program this week to help you with your personal financial plans.

“Money Matters” will take place Thursday, beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Room 180 of the Jack Burke Research and Economic Development Center, 5101 Station Road, Harborcreek Township.

The program offers what organizers called “unbiased financial advice without the pressure of a sales event.” Behrend’s Center for Financial & Consumer Outreach is offering the event, along with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission and AARP.

Sessions will teach participants how to develop or enhance a personal financial plan and how to avoid fraud. Each participant also will receive a free investor education toolkit.

Seating is limited and registration is required. Call (800) 600-0007 or visit www.psc.state.pa.us/investor.
