Augusta, GA – For the 2023-2024 academic year, Tawanaca Williams, SRP Federal Credit Union’s Financial Services Engagement Developer, conducted engaging financial literacy sessions with the Tabernacle Baptist Church’s Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) class. As part of this initiative, students were encouraged to save unwrapped Happy Meal toys, receiving $1 for each toy collected. SRP proudly awarded each student with a minimum of $25 for their efforts. Pastor Goodman of Tabernacle Baptist Church also matched SRP’s donations for the students.
Throughout the year, the students learned a special song about money, and it was performed it at their recent graduation ceremony. We believe this collaboration has been immensely beneficial for the students, instilling valuable financial habits from an early age.
“We believe in financial education for every age at SRP,” says Mr. Eric Jenkins, CEO of SRP Federal Credit Union. “Introducing these young students to money and the concept of saving will be useful to them as they grow older. It was a pleasure to partner with Tabernacle Baptist Church’s Pre-K class and to generate excitement as they learned.”
