Isabella Bank employees are turning their Compassion into Action on Monday, October 10.

 

All Isabella Bank locations will be closed to allow employees to volunteer with one of nine local organizations; Big Rapids Charter Township, Habitat for Humanity Isabella County, Isabella County Parks and Recreation, Mid-Michigan Community Action Agency, United Way of Montcalm County, United Way of Saginaw County, Village of Breckenridge, West Midland Family Center, and William and Janet Strickler Nonprofit Center.

Volunteering and giving back is part of the culture at Isabella Bank. In 2021, employees donated over
5,000 hours to hundreds of different organizations across the Isabella Bank footprint. The idea to
dedicate an entire day to making a positive difference came after recognizing the incredible impact
employees make locally. Allowing all employees to get involved empowers their sense of purpose and makes them feel more connected to neighbors and community.

Over 350 employees will be volunteering at one of nine community service projects.

• ? The Big Rapids Charter Township project participants will work on cleaning up and revitalizing

Highbanks Park.

• ? The Habitat for Humanity Isabella County project participants will work in their ReStore facility

in Mount Pleasant.

revitalizing Deerfield Park.

for the local food bank.

Michigan Food Bank.

• ? The Village of Breckenridge project participants will work on community clean-up around the

village.

• ? The West Midland Family Center project participants will work with the center to clean-up the

grounds, package food boxes for distribution, and revitalize the picnic area.
