During the week of June 12^th–June 16^th, Farmers & Merchants Bank highlighted five small businesses in our Pay It Forward campaign. Community members were encouraged to visit the participating businesses as FMB matched and donated a portion of the businesses proceeds to local non-profits.

Because of the support for this event, FMB was able to donate a total of $1,060 to the participating non-profit organizations.

Berlin Food Pantry: $100
Boys and Girls Club: $120
Berlin Booster Club: $200
Green Lake Area Animal Shelter: $240
ABC Christmas Parade: $400

Pay It Forward was created to demonstrate the importance of supporting small businesses and the effect that the support has on the owners, the community, and the local economy.

FMB is committed to continuing to find ways to support the small businesses and non-profits in our area and show our appreciation for the role they play in our community.

Thank you to the participating businesses: Riverside Coffee Company, CorNutrition, Shepard’s Drive-In, Izzy’s Dockside, and Jeff’s on the Square.

Thank you to the participating non-profits: Berlin Food Pantry, Boys and Girls Club of the Tri-County Area, Berlin Booster Club, Green Lake Area Animal Shelter, and ABC Group.
