Spread Goodness Day, a global event held annually in March, and founded by Anna Dravland of Marquette, is intended to inspire a global day of goodness by encouraging individuals, businesses & organizations to take one action of goodness on this one day. First National Bank & Trust is proud to have taken part since Spread Goodness Day’s 2018 inception. For this year’s March 12th event, First National Bank & Trust spread goodness throughout the Bank’s Iron Mountain-Kingsford, Iron River and Menominee community locations.
The First National Bank & Trust Iron Mountain-Kingsford locations provided baked goods and beverages to the Dickinson County Healthcare System Emergency Department, COVID Unit, and hospital staff and patients.
