2023 was another successful year for Eureka! Our mortgage lenders served more than 150 families purchase or improve their homes, while our commercial lenders helped over 80 professionals start, expand, or improve their business. Our deposit team worked persistently to revamp our current products and services in addition to learning new ones to not only better fit our customer but to stay the strong competitor we strive to be.
Our customers and communities continue to believe in us, and we believe in them. Because of this, Eureka Savings Bank provided more than $82,000 in donations to our communities throughout 2023. In addition, our employees donated more almost $7,000 of their own money to charity on Friday jeans days! In addition to financial contributions our employees are involved in over 35 local groups and organizations providing over 1,500 hours volunteering in our community. We remain committed to make a $25 donation to Habitat for Humanity for LaSalle-Bureau Putnam Counties for every residential loan we closed in 2023 and were able to donate over $3,500 to Habitat for Humanity.
We look to the future with confidence and excitement as we continue to serve our communities by expanding our financial education reach and greater investments in equipment to keep up with the ever-evolving technology to make banking simpler and more convenient for not only our customers but our team as well.
We invite everyone to experience Eureka and let us help you with every step of the way!
