Before the season gets busy, take a few minutes to plan ahead:
🌴 Set a budget for trips and activities
🍔 Plan for seasonal expenses like dining out and events
📲 Use online or mobile banking to keep track of spending while you’re on the go

A little planning now can help you enjoy summer with less financial stress later on!

Thank you, United Way of Greater McHenry County, for your partnership and kind words. We look forward to continuing to work together to make a positive impact in our community!

We just learned that is 100 years older than our United Way. To commemorate their milestone anniversary, they set an ambitious goal of completing 160 acts of kindness. We enjoyed meeting with President Phil Lehmann and Employee Giving Champion Extraordinaire, Kurt Norman, to brainstorm on new ways that they can strengthen our community even more. Happy 160th Anniversary Harvard State Bank!
