Yesterday, our Jackson employees rolled up their sleeves and got creative by painting mosaic tiles for the Jackson Center for the Arts’ Mosaic Mural Project!

Each tile will become part of a larger piece of art—a beautiful American flag mural that will be displayed on the Livewire Building in downtown Jackson. We love seeing our employees come together to support local arts and help bring meaningful projects to life in our communities!

A little community investment can go a long way! City parks are places to gather, enjoy the outdoors and make memories with family and friends.

Through our Community Fund, Bank Midwest is donating $5,000 to the Sherburn Civic Commerce Club to help update city park benches in Sherburn.

We’re glad to support projects that help make our communities even better places to call home! https://hubs.la/Q04Bgd470

Anyone interested in sponsoring a bench or learning more about dedication options, contact Ean with Sherburn Civic & Commerce Club at 507-639-5711 or [email protected].

You get a text or call saying there’s suspicious activity on your account. They want you to click a link, share a verification code or move your money to a “safe” account.

SCAM ALERT: “Your account has been compromised.” RED FLAG.

Your bank will never ask you to move your money to protect it.
When in doubt, STOP. THINK. VERIFY.

Today, we’re celebrating our farmers on National Farmer Day. The early mornings. The long days. The decisions that never stop. The generations of knowledge passed down and the courage to keep moving forward.

Farming isn’t just a way of making a living. It’s a way of life that feeds our communities, strengthens our rural towns and helps shape the places we’re proud to call home.

To the farmers in our communities: thank you for all you do, today and every day.
