Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County encourages saving money during America Saves Week Feb 22-26
As part of America Saves Week 2021, Feb. 22-26, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Steuben County is encouraging its community to take a moment to focus on the importance of emergency savings and saving automatically, in an effort to better prepare Americans for the unexpected, like the Covid-19 pandemic. Scott J. Van Etten, Chairman of the Steuben County Legislature, has proclaimed the week of February 22nd through February 28, 2021, as Steuben Saves Week in Steuben County, and calls upon all citizens to increase their automatic savings or take other positive wealth-building action during Steuben Saves Week and pledge to sustain that action during the remainder of the year.
As part of America Saves Week, CCE Steuben will be offering several free online classes as part of America Saves Week. CCE Steuben Financial Educator Nancy Reigelsperger says, “With so many Americans still reeling from the financial crisis caused by Coronavirus, we thought it was important for us to collectively take a look at our finances, recognize where we are currently, where we want to be, and start making a plan to get there— even if it’s just a little bit at a time.”

Since 2007 America Saves Week, coordinated by America Saves and its partners, has been an annual celebration as well as a call to action for everyday Americans to commit to saving successfully. Through the support of thousands of participating organizations, together we encourage our local communities to do a ‘gut-check’ on their finances and saving behaviors. The America Saves pledge is the framework that allows savers to set a goal, and make a plan to achieve better financial stability.
