Friendship State Bank Launches Annual Kid$ave Year-Long Activity Challenge

The initiative aims to foster financial wellness in children.

(Friendship, Ind.) - Friendship State Bank is excited to announce the launch of the Kid$aveYear-Long Activity Challenge, an initiative aimed at cultivating healthy financial habits in children while making saving money an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
