Chippewa Falls – On Monday, March 2, 2026, Family Support Center (FSC) received a $45,000 donation from Northwestern Bank in support of our programming and operations. Northwestern Bank has contributed generously throughout past years and gave a similar amount in 2023. FSC is honored by this partnership to improve the lives of survivors of violence in the Chippewa Valley and build a stronger community together.
“We’re grateful to be able to support families and individuals participating in the impactful programing at the Family Support Center. We believe strong communities are built when community organizations and local businesses work together. [FSC]’s programs empower people to improve their lives, creating a positive ripple effect throughout our community” shared Tracey Smiskey, CEO Northwestern Bank.
Geri Segal, current Executive Director, and Jeni Haddad, incoming Executive Director, expressed their gratitude for this long-time partnership. “The financial support provided by Northwestern Bank ensures stability for the multitude of services we provide. Last year, we provided services to 1,020 survivors of domestic and sexual violence and 332 parents and caregivers received parenting support and education. We would not be able to do this without the support of Northwestern Bank.”
