Western Security Bank's $25,000 Gift to Enroll 16 New Children

Friends of the Children - Eastern Montana has been selected as the second-quarter recipient of Western Security Bank's Hands of Hope award, receiving a $25,000 gift will help us enroll 16 new children in our mentoring program this year!

The Hands of Hope program demonstrates the power of community-focused businesses creating real change. Each quarter, Western Security Bank selects a local nonprofit to receive both financial support and volunteer service, keeping investments right here in the Yellowstone Valley where they make the biggest local impact.

In addition to this generous financial gift, their dedicated team rolled up their sleeves for a spring cleanup project around our clubhouse! We're incredibly grateful to the amazing volunteers who took time out of their day to help. Their hard work, positive attitudes, and community spirit made a big difference, and the place looks better than ever!

This $25,000 investment means 16 more local children will receive professional mentors who will walk alongside them for 12+ years, helping them build character, develop personal responsibility, and create successful futures. It's partnerships like these that show what community is all about.

Thank you, Western Security Bank, for believing in our mission and demonstrating that local solutions create lasting change for Billings families!
