Union State Bank in the Community
At Union State Bank, community is at the heart of everything we do. Since 1908, we've believed that being a community bank means more than providing financial services, it means investing our time, talents, and resources to help the places we call home thrive.
Our employees demonstrate that commitment every day by volunteering, serving on nonprofit boards, participating in civic organizations, and supporting local events. Whether they're mentoring students, organizing community fundraisers, or giving back through volunteer service, our team is dedicated to making a meaningful difference both inside and outside the workplace.
In addition to volunteerism, Union State Bank proudly supports nonprofit organizations, schools, and community initiatives through charitable contributions and sponsorships. We are honored to partner with organizations whose missions strengthen our communities and improve the lives of those who live here.
If your organization is making a positive impact in the communities we serve, we invite you to review our contribution guidelines and application process to learn how Union State Bank may be able to support your mission. Together, we can continue building stronger communities for generations to come.
