At Farmers & Merchants Bank, we believe in connecting our community and the importance of supporting the local businesses and organizations that make our town thrive. This year, we brought back our “Pay It Forward” campaign which strives to do just that.

Each day of the week of August 19^th-23rd, we partnered with a different local business. On their designated day, a percentage of the business’s profits was matched by Farmers & Merchants Bank and donated to a corresponding local organization. This not only helped boost sales for these businesses but also provided support to the organizations participating.

Through this we were able to donate a total of $2,635 to the organizations. Additionally, two of the participating businesses made additional donations- $550 from Violet & Company to All Saints Catholic School, and $200 from Farmstead Saloon to St John Lutheran School. See our donation breakdown below:

Thank you to all who took part in Pay It Forward by supporting the amazing participating businesses and organizations in our community!
