First Merchants Bank understands the importance of building and supporting our local communities through volunteerism. In September, First Merchants team members participated in the United Way Day of Action by serving at Ross Community Center. Our team of 14 spent the day painting, cleaning, organizing and installing a beautiful outdoor chess board for the facility.

The United Way Day of Action encourages organizations and people to help others by volunteering to improve the education, financial stability, and health of our communities. Many organizations around the world participate by advocating for and enhancing the quality of people’s lives. #liveunited
