Penn Community Bank, the largest independent mutual bank in eastern Pennsylvania, is taking action to address the critical need for modern financial education by hosting and sponsoring a series of free financial education workshops in partnership with the Grundy Library in Bristol throughout April — National Financial Literacy Month.

These sessions, led by bank professionals and subject matter experts, are designed to empower individuals and families with essential personal finance skills, helping them make informed financial decisions and improve their overall financial knowledge for long-term financial success.
