We’re proud to support the LenaStrong Community Fund and stand with our Lena community during this time. We’re grateful to see so many people coming together to help neighbors in need.

Donations can be made online at the Lena Strong Community Fund https://fornwil.org/lena-strong-community-fund/, or by dropping off a check at our bank, payable to the Lena Strong Community Fund. We are proud to serve as a local drop-off location and help connect support to those who need it.

While Lena continues to recover from the recent tornado, we are encouraged by the support that continues. We are thankful we can announce the Community Fund received a $25,000 donation from Lena State Bank and Foresight Bank.
