Blue Shoe Box
Blue Shoe Box Introduction
If I can own a credit union…I can do anything!
Serve Credit Union was established by the Des Moines Police Officers in 1931. Stories of the credit union being run out of a shoe box have been around just as long! We are so excited to offer the BLUE SHOE BOX free subscription boxes to our Youth Members and bring this little piece of history into your home!
Here’s how it works!
All members ages 0-17 who sign up will receive their very own annual Financial Literacy box catered to their age, potential life events, etc. Every April, Financial Literacy Youth Month, there will be activities, credit union swag, resources, special invites and more! This is the perfect way to get you excited, engaged and educated with your finances and credit union!
All recipients of the BLUE SHOE BOX must be members in good standing of Serve Credit Union between the ages of 0-17.
