LOUISVILLE, Ky. — April marks National Financial Literacy Month and a local bank is celebrating community outreach.
Beginning April 18 through April 30, First Financial Bank’s 10 locations in the greater Louisville area will collect books of any type that will be donated to local organizations including schools, libraries and churches.
The bank is also helping the community learn about financial literacy. At their locations, they will provide books and articles to help all ages understand the importance of financial literacy. Eleven titles will be available if you’re saving money in a piggy bank or managing credit card debt.
“Financial literacy is the foundation for a thriving community and economic stability,” Roddell McCullough, chief corporate responsibility officer for First Financial Bank, said in a statement. “Education is so important that we established it as a key pillar in our ALIVE strategy to help support the needs of low- to moderate-income communities. That’s why we are so proud to work with local organizations in each of our communities to promote literacy, and specifically financial literacy, for everyone.”
