INDEPENDENT BANK 'MADE A DIFFERENCE' IN LOCAL COMMUNITIES
4th largest Michigan-based bank dedicated an entire day to a 
company-wide volunteer effort
   
(October 16, 2017) - Independent Bank closed its offices on Columbus Day, October 9, 2017, to participate in its second annual all-employee volunteer day. Independent Bank's employees, including those at the Williamston branch, took part in "Making A Difference Day," where they volunteered in teams across the state.
 
Employees selected from a variety of organizations and non-profits throughout their local communities to give back for the day. Taking part in volunteer activities, ranging from demoing a house in Grand Rapids for Habitat For Humanity of Kent County to decorating the Saginaw Children's Zoo for Halloween and cleaning up cemeteries in Newaygo and Bay City, as well as providing clean up in Williamston,  the Independent Bank teams throughout Michigan and parts of Ohio definitely made a positive difference in their communities.  

Visit our Facebook page at Facebook.com/IndependentBank to see some of our Facebook LIVE videos and photos from the day.
