(FAIRFIELD, IOWA) Washington State Bank has joined ranks with Jefferson County Kids to bring its future child care center a step closer by pledging $25,000 toward the project.

We feel this child care center will be a tremendous asset to Jefferson County and are eager to see the positive impact it will bring to our community for years to come.”
