CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (July 15) — With a lot of expenses these days, it can be challenging for new parents to start saving money for their child’s future. To help new parents with savings, TVFCU has teamed up with The Birth Place at Parkridge East Hospital to help celebrate the arrival of their bundle of joy.
Each baby will receive a piggy bank and a poem that was penned by Nina Coppinger, TVFCU community liaison.
“Saving money is a skill that is useful all throughout life,” said Jed Mescon, TVFCU community engagement liaison. “Each piggy bank also comes with a poem to let each baby know their future will be amazing. We hope this program will help add a lot of joy one penny at a time.”
Piggy banks are a great tool and visual aid to begin saving routines at home. Once the piggy banks are full, parents can easily open their child a Youth Savings Account with a Social Security Card and Birth Certificate. Simply visit tvfcu.com to open the savings account through the tvfcuLIVE Stream video app or visit a TVFCU branch. TVFCU’s Youth Savings Account is available for infants up to 19-year-olds.
