Financial learning: Manage your money, plan your retirement, shred your documents & keep your identity safe

Posted on January 16, 2020 at 6:00 am

This winter and spring, we’ve partnered with financial advisors and educators from local organizations, businesses, banks, and credit unions to provide you with a variety of financial educational opportunities.

For kids, we have a program that combines their creativity with a game that helps them learn about spending and saving.

And if you have old financial documents piling up, you won’t want to miss our Free Shred Day.
