The Cooperative Ministry announced Jessica Grote as the new Director of Financial Sustainability Programs. She is a graduate of University of South Carolina and double majored in Finance and Accounting.
“I chose The Cooperative Ministry because I wanted to work for an organization that is improving our community,” Grote says.

Executive Director Beth Irick says, “We are thrilled to have Jessica as part of our team. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and heart for helping others will impact our programs and the clients we serve.
Grote’s number one goal?
“My number one goal is to PREPARE people for emergencies- so that when crisis happens they will feel mentally prepared and financially stable enough to handle the situation,” Grote says.
Grote has a passion for helping hard-working people become more self-sufficient. In addition to her day job, Jessica serves on the Board of Advisors as the Treasurer of Hannah House. She also teaches a financial sustainability class at Hanna House.
