Air Force Federal Credit Union Supports Military Saves Week
SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwired - February 27, 2017) - As part of Military Saves Week 2017, scheduled for February 27 - March 4, Air Force Federal Credit Union (AFFCU) and Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) are spreading the savings message, and urging the community to participate in Military Saves Week and take the Military Saves Pledge.
To help people save more successfully and encourage more people to save, JBSA-Lackland's Military and Readiness Center is partnering with AFFCU to offer military families and DoD civilian employees educational classes during Military Saves Week. A special AFFCU Military Saves Share Certificate will also be available, and this year has been extended another week, until March 11, 2017.
"AFFCU is honored to be a part of Military Saves Week this year. This is a great opportunity for the credit union to help educate service members and their families in our community. Our objective is to set them on the right path in setting a goal, making a plan, and saving. We have also developed a special Share Certificate exclusively to military personnel for the next couple of weeks," said Bob Glenn President/CEO.
