🎉 Some surprises are worth remembering forever.

When the team at Jack's Basket agreed to help us create a video for our selection committee, they thought they were only being considered for the grand prize award.

What they didn't know? The decision had already been made.

Watch the moment they learned they were the Camp Champion Award recipient and the winner of a $25,000 Live First Community Giving grant.

Organizations like Jack's Basket make a meaningful difference in the communities we call home, and we're honored to help support their mission.

👏 Join us in congratulating Jack's Basket!

Congratulations again to Life Startup Essentials on receiving a 2026 Community Builder Award in this year's Live First Community Giving Campaign! 🎉

More exciting news is on the way. We'll announce this year's grand prize winner later this week! 👏

🎉 We have some exciting news!

Life Startup Essentials has been selected as a 2026 Community Builder Award recipient through First International Bank & Trust’s Live First Community Giving Campaign!

The $5,000 Live First Community Grant will help us take an exciting step forward by supporting the development of a new app to digitize and automate our order fulfillment process.

What does that mean for our communities? A more efficient LSE means more time and capacity to focus on what matters most: getting essential kits into the hands of the individuals, families, and community partners who need them.

Growth behind the scenes helps us create greater impact beyond our warehouse walls. 💙

A huge thank you to First International Bank & Trust for investing in our mission and recognizing Life Startup Essentials as a Community Builder. We’re excited for what’s ahead!

🌺 Spreading joy, one bouquet at a time!

Team members from our Fargo, West Fargo, and Moorhead locations recently volunteered at Hope Blooms to create bouquets and support their mission of bringing joy, encouragement, and connection to our community.

We're especially proud that Hope Blooms was also a previous winner of FIBT's Live First Community Giving Campaign. Seeing their impact firsthand is a reminder of the incredible work local nonprofits do every day and the difference they make in the lives of others.

Thank you, Hope Blooms, for all you do!

📚 Preparing students for a successful school year takes a community effort.

After collecting school supplies at our Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo locations, our employees joined volunteers from across the region at the United Way School Supply Drive at the Fargodome, helping support local students and families as they get ready for the year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and talents!

This Women's Equality Day, we're celebrating some of the women whose leadership, expertise, and dedication shape our organization every day. From lending and marketing to operations, payments, customer service, and beyond, their impact is felt across our teams, our customers, and the communities we serve.

Thank you for your leadership, service, and commitment! 🙌

Where in the world is FIBT? Apparently, wherever there’s an adventure! 🚲🎣🏔️🏌️

FIBT gear has recently been spotted:

• Tackling the Maah Daah Hey 100
• Halibut fishing in the Gulf of Alaska
• Relaxing along Lake Superior
• Snuggling cows at the ranch
• Enjoying a family hunting trip
• Cheering at the World Juniors in St. Paul

We love seeing the places our employees, customers, and FIBT gear travel together.

👉 Which of these adventures would you choose? Let us know in the comments!
