(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.

Brittany Gavin, Branch Manager for Washington State Bank, said, “Washington State Bank is thrilled to be a proud supporter of the Jefferson County Kids initiative to provide a much needed service to our community. 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.”

This pledge raises fundraising efforts to over $2.7 million of the $3.5 million capital campaign goal.

Kate Van Pelt Jefferson County Kids Board Director, said, “We would like to thank Washington State Bank for their generous contribution and investment. It’s partnerships like this one, that are galvanizing the project, and that will grow the community.”

The Jefferson County Kids Board of Directors is nearing the final design stages and continue to strive for a 2021 opening of the center.
