Border Bank is pleased to announce the launch of a school supply drive across all its locations, running from July 16 through August 22. This effort aims to provide essential supplies to students and families in need as they gear up for the new school year.

Donations of items such as notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and classroom basics are welcome at any of Border Bank’s eleven branch locations or two Northern Ag Insurance offices. The bank will also contribute to the drive, helping ensure every student has the tools they need to learn and thrive.

“Education is one of the cornerstones of the communities we serve,” said Kory Shae, CEO of Border Bank. “We believe no student should miss opportunities because they lack school supplies. By coming together, we can ease that burden for families and support our local youth.”

All donated items will be distributed to local schools in time for the start of the academic year. For those who prefer, monetary donations are welcome — and our bank staff will take care of purchasing the supplies to donate.

This initiative reflects Border Bank’s long-standing commitment to community service and corporate responsibility. With 90 years of service and deep roots in communities across North Dakota and Minnesota, the bank remains dedicated to supporting the people it serves.

Drop-off locations include:

• Two branches in Fargo, ND
• Minnesota branches in Coon Rapids, Greenbush, Thief River Falls, Middle River, Badger, Roseau, Baudette, International Falls, and Clearbrook
• Northern Ag Insurance offices in Roseau (at bank) and Thief River Falls, MN

Everyone is invited to participate and make a difference—one notebook, one pencil, one backpack at a time.

Border Bank has been a trusted financial institution for over 88 years and has two branches in Fargo, North Dakota, and nine branches in Minnesota, including Coon Rapids, Greenbush, Thief River Falls, Middle River, Badger, Roseau, Baudette, International Falls and Clearbrook. In addition, Border Bank owns Northern Ag, an insurance agency providing crop insurance, commodity marketing advisory and brokerage services. Northern Ag has offices in Roseau and Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
