America Saves Week

The week of February 21st - 28th we celebrate America Saves Week.  What is America Saves Week?  During one week each year, organizations and financial institutions across the country join a national campaign to encourage people to save money and improve financial security.

Most of us are not adequately saving money to handle emergencies or prepare for our future...often times because there is not enough income left to save.  Organizations like ours are committed to help people create financial goals and plans that include saving.  Saving can be done on any budget!  Working together we can help create a better future!
