Community Resource Federal Credit Union Participates in MILITARY SAVES WEEK 2023

The annual campaign focuses on increasing military-affiliated Americans’ financial confidence through addressing individuals’ emotions, lived experiences, and helping them get a clear view of their finances in order to set new goals.

Community Resource Federal Credit Union is a proud participant in Military Saves Week, an annual national campaign that encourages military-affiliated individuals and families to check-in on their finances by highlighting several key areas that contribute to financial stability; such as saving automatically, preparing for unexpected expenses, retirement, and reducing debt. Military Saves Week is April 24, 2023 – April 28, 2023.

As part of Military Saves Week, Community Resource FCU will help encourage those currently serving in the military to focus on savings goals and milestones and preparing for the future.

“With so many military service men and women in our communities still feeling the financial distress from the pandemic, this national conversation is timely and needed. Community Resource won the Military Saves Designation of Savings Excellence award in 2021 and 2022 and looks forward to continuing to support our community in gaining better savings habits and getting key strategies that enhance their financial wellness journey.”

– Jaye Jones, AVP Marketing & Business Development
