MILITARY SAVES ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE YELLOW RIBBON NETWORK THAT WILL FINANCIALLY BENEFIT ENTIRE MILITARY COMMUNITY
(WASHINGTON, D.C) July 20, 2020 — Military Saves is excited to announce a new partnership with the Yellow Ribbon Network (YRN). Through the Yellow Ribbon Network, the entire military community, including active duty, veterans, National Guard, and Reserve, can access a wide range of free assistance from confidential financial counseling to employment and housing help.
Those who take the Military Saves Pledge will have an opportunity to sign up for free financial counseling from an AFCPE-accredited financial professional. If military families don’t need counseling, but want to access the Yellow Ribbon Network’s other resources, they can also access them through the network’s Hero Accounts.
“Military Saves continues its mission of motivating the military community to save effectively, and this partnership is another step forward to ensure everyone has the resources and tools they need to succeed,” said Angela Caban, Director of Military Saves. “We are especially thrilled to be able to offer more resources to National Guard, Reserve, and veterans. Many times, these components live far from an installation or are not able to access services, which doesn’t leave them with many options when it comes to their financial well-being.”
Individuals who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic can also receive free financial counseling through the organization by visiting www.yellowribbonnetwork.org/afcpecovid19.
“Yellow Ribbon Network is proud to partner with Military Saves as our organizations are aligned in guiding our military in providing for their families and saving a much-needed emergency fund during these uncertain times,” said John Pickens III, Executive Director of the Yellow Ribbon Network. “YRN and Military Saves will directly impact the lives of many who are struggling through COVID-19, and I encourage our active military and veterans alike to check out the free counseling and resources available through both websites.”
