Encourage Member Saving w/America Saves Week Posted by AVCU on 4:19 PM

America Saves Week 2020  is a little over one month away.  AVCU was an inaugural partner in the initial Vermont version of the promotion.   America Saves is an initiative of the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), a non-profit, pro-consumer organization  of over 270 consumer education, advocacy, and cooperative members dedicated to advancing consumer interest.

Since 2007 America Saves Week has been an annual celebration as well as a call to action for everyday Americans to encourage individuals and families to take the America Saves pledge, a tool  that empowers them to commit to save successfully with a plan. Thousands of non-profit, government, and corporate organizations partner with America Saves through local, regional, statewide, and national campaigns both year-round and during America Saves Week.
