Bank launches book drive
First Financial Bank is launching a book drive at its location in Franklin, with the goal of contributing to improved financial literacy in the community. Books about personal finance and other subjects can be dropped in a specially marked bin in First Financial at 50 Branigin Road, from May 6-24.
All members of the community are welcome to join the effort and donors do not need to be First Financial Bank clients. At the end of the campaign, First Financial associates will deliver the books to local organizations such as schools, libraries and nonprofits in the community.
A list of financial resources and recommended books on finance for all ages will be available in each financial center. First Financial also offers financial wellness tools and resources online at bankatfirst.com.

Community collects medication
Community Health Network sites around central Indiana served as safe, secure drop-off locations for expired and no longer needed medications. More than 1,400 pounds of medication were collected at the sites for safe disposal. The event was a part of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration-sponsored National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
Thousands more pounds of drugs were collected at sites across the state and nation. Locally drugs were collected at Indiana State Police posts, Kroger and Meijer stores.
