First Merchants Bank in Bourbon is inviting the community to join them in the fight against hunger this holiday season by participating in a special food drive this Saturday, December 6th, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The food drive will take place at the Bourbon First Merchants Bank parking lot, located at 101 West Center Street. Community members are encouraged to bring donations of shelf-stable food items to help local families in need.
The holiday season is a time for giving, and unfortunately, many of our neighbors face food insecurity, especially during these colder months. The First Merchant Bank in Bourbon is proud to partner with the community to collect essential food items that will directly benefit local food pantries and ensure no one goes hungry.
