Farmers & Merchants State Bank’s annual Tradition of Giving is winding down. But there’s still time to give! You have until Friday, Dec. 13 to bring in a nonperishable food item or unwrapped gift to any of our three locations. Money donations are also welcome. We will match your donation, dollar-for-dollar and dollar-for-pound, up to $2,000 per location. All donations will be given to local shelters, food shelves, and neighbors in need. If writing out a check for your donation, they can be made payable to the specific Food Shelf we’re donating to in each area. These are as follows:
- Eden Valley – Eden Valley Area Food Shelf – 556 Brooks St N, Eden Valley, MN, 55329, (320) 453-3700
- Pierz – The Pierz Area Food Shelf – 220 Main Street S. Apt. #5 – The Old Library Building, (320) 468-7134
