Stepping Up to Better
“The goal is to get kids and families saving, building assets, financial security and independence,” said John Hogan in an interview with Financial Advisor Magazine.
“We distributed over 1,700 Sammy Rabbit books to grades 1, 2 and 3 throughout Santa Clara County. One of our staff members, Aleta Smith, who recently joined our team as a Community Relations Specialist, was able to personally read the books in classrooms...” according to Hogan who said the credit union has already gotten requests for Sammy books in Spanish and Vietnamese.
“We love the fun and engaging nature that the Sammy Rabbit books bring to the program,” said Hogan, who works with a number of community programs to launch savings programs to help lower-income families.
