F&M Bank Employees Team up with Habitat for Humanity to Build Playhouses for Deserving, Northwest Ohio Families
12 June 2024 - 3:11AM
F&M Bank (“F&M”), an Archbold, Ohio-based bank owned by
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: FMAO), proudly
announces its collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Fulton
County, Ohio to sponsor and build four playhouses for deserving,
local families.
On Friday, June 14th, employees of F&M Bank
will team up to build four playhouses for local children through
Habitat’s Playhouse Project program. Nearly 40 employees have
volunteered to paint, assemble and decorate the playhouses
throughout the day, beginning at 9:00 a.m.
“F&M has, and always will be, invested in
the communities we serve,” said F&M’s Community Relations
Manager, Maureen Bernath. “The impact of these playhouses will
reach across Fulton, Defiance and Henry Counties and provide a safe
space to play and create new memories at home for children in our
communities. Our involvement serves as a reminder that, like our
hard-working customers, we’re eager to pick up a hammer and a
paintbrush for a great cause. Habitat for Humanity’s efforts should
be celebrated, which is why we’re making a day of it!”
Along with the playhouse build, F&M will
also be sponsoring free shaved ice, face painting and music
starting at 11:30 a.m. The public is encouraged to stop by the
F&M Bank parking lot in downtown Archbold to watch the build,
enjoy the entertainment or grab lunch at the food truck that will
also be on-site, for purchase.
Heidi Kern, Executive Director for Habitat for
Humanity of Fulton County, Ohio, said, “Playhouse Project is a
unique team-building opportunity that supports the mission of
Habitat for Humanity in Fulton County, Ohio and blesses a family
with a safe place to play. Children get to boost their creativity
through imaginative play, Habitat receives funding to support its
affordable housing mission and sponsors impact their communities
through this fun and creative avenue. It is truly a 'win, win, win'
outcome!”
Habitat’s Playhouse Project connects sponsors
with families who would not be able to have a playhouse without
assistance. With Habitat’s guidance, sponsors fund, design and
build each playhouse, then get to present it to the children they
are partnered with and experience the joy that such a tremendous
gift brings. The playhouses will be presented to the children at
the end of the day on June 14th.
