Thank you to everyone at First National Bank of River Falls. Your support with donations and helping to raise public awareness of local nonprofits doesn't go unnoticed! 😊😊

During Community Banking Month every April, we choose a community project for all bank staff to participate in. FNBRF employees channeled their competitive drive by organizing an internal competition to collect and donate items to Neighbors' Place, Inc., and Prescott Food Pantry.
