💰 What is your relationship with money? It's probably complicated. James Mitchell is working to build healthy relationships with money and strong financial futures for youth and families in the Capital Region. His program, Young Futures, does this through art. 🎨 Hattie's Restaurants was thrilled to support this AMAZING program with August 24 for 24, where 24% of profits from Hattie's Downtown Saratoga, Albany, and Wilton from August 7th were donated to Young Futures. Thank you again to everyone who dined with us on August 7th. ❤️ To learn more, check them out on social media. #FinancialLiteracy #CapitalRegion #BrighterFuture
