MARSHFIELD – Forward Bank is supplying their employees with the means to infuse $20,000 into our local restaurants.

“Challenging times present opportunities for all business to show our hearts to our employees and others in the communities that we call home. We gain a stronger understanding of how interconnected we all are and how our success is tied to so many others,” the company said in a release.

“We all stand together in helping our communities,” said Bill Sennholz, CEO of Forward Bank. “That is why Forward is giving each of our employees $120 gift cards and certificates for their choice of local restaurants to be used now for takeout or later when we can gather at these businesses. We want this infusion of over $20,000 into the local economy to be the next step in helping small businesses, like many of our customer owners, survive until we return to normal.”

Forward Bank currently has offices in Colby, Greenwood, Marshfield, Medford, Park Falls, Phillips, Stanley, Thorp, and Withee.
