Community Outreach

Local Love was established in 2021 as First MainStreet's Outreach Program. The goal of the program is to support our partner agencies charitable giving efforts and help them give back in their communities.

In 2022, the Local Love program donated over $74,000 across 30 Midwest communities.

Charley Brown Community Dare Care Center

"The Charley Brown Community Day Care Center services about 400 children a day between our three centers. The donation from EBA will benefit around 160 children to help offset the cost for transportation for our summer programs. That equals out to about 60 families, 45% of them considered low-income."
