Investing in financial education is one way we support the long-term success of the communities we serve. During Financial Literacy Month, First Mid partnered with Junior Achievement of Greater St. Louis to bring hands-on learning to students at Woodland Elementary in Jennings, MO. Through interactive activities, students are introduced to important concepts like budgeting, saving, and making informed financial decisions at an early age.
Giving back is at the heart of First Mid. In 2025, our team members contributed more than 18,000 volunteer hours, supporting organizations and initiatives that strengthen the communities we serve.

These efforts reflect a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference in our communities. #CommitmentToCommunity 💙🤝
