First Saturday
Collecting Donations for Local Non-Profits

American Savings Bank’s “First Saturday” community program collects donations for local non-profit organizations. On the first Saturday of every month, over 40 of our branches that are open on Saturdays serve as collection points to help those in need.

Please see the calendar below for the upcoming First Saturday events. A featured branch has been selected for each month to serve as the location for a live radio remote broadcast.
