Midland States Bank has partnered with us to provide financial empowerment and on-site banking opportunities. In July, they provided an Identity Theft class at Greencastle of North Aurora along with breakfast from a local favorite restaurant. They seek out resident input on topics of interest for their financial empowerment classes, including credit reports, mobile banking, banking basics and making budgets work. We are grateful for their partnership with Greencastle of North Aurora and excited to have them work with our residents in Rockford starting this month!
