During the summer of 2012, Melba Brown, credit analyst at our Ashburn Branch, volunteered on behalf of SGBC in the Food For Thought program organized by Turner County Connection, which includes Communities in Schools of Turner County, Tiftarea YMCA and Turner County Board of Education. Turner County currently has 83% of its students who benefit from the free and reduced lunch program and still need to receive meals over the summer break. The Food for Thought program is a community partnership with the goal of feeding and enhancing the education of children in Turner County. As part of her volunteering, Melba taught financial basics to the kids in an interactive, simple way. Through fun games, she explained spending, saving and how to make your money grow.
