We received a handful of thank you cards from the wonderful kids we sponsored at this year's 4-H auctions at the St. Joseph County Fair. We happily sponsored 13 kids at the large and small animal auctions, helping to support their future projects and higher education. At Sturgis Bank, we're all about investing in our community and the bright futures of our youth. We're honored to support the 4-H program and the incredible young people who are making a difference right here at home. #LetsGrowHome #GivingBack #CommunitySupport #4H

Our Calhoun County team was pleased to attend the Tekonsha Health Fair last week, where they had the opportunity to connect with local seniors. Older adults in rural areas often face challenges in accessing information about available programs and services. That’s why, many months ago, a planning committee made up of staff from the Tekonsha Fire Department, the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, and various senior service organizations came together to organize the fair. Their goal: "Bringing service providers into local communities is a win-win for everyone." We couldn’t agree more! We're honored to be part of the Calhoun County community. #LetsGrowHome #CommunitySupport #CalhounCounty
