Forward Bank donates $50,000 to Medford VFW building project

Forward Bank has announced a $50,000 donation to the Medford VFW building project, helping to construct a facility that will serve as a central hub for veterans and community gatherings.

This project aims to create a welcoming space where veterans and their families can connect and where the community can gather to celebrate and honor their service. The banquet hall will provide a venue for events ranging from weddings to community meetings, further enriching the Medford area.

“We are incredibly grateful to Forward Bank for their generosity and commitment to our veterans and community,” said Nick Lemke, VFW Post Commander. “This $50,000 donation will help bring our vision to life, creating a space that honors those who served and brings people together for generations to come.”
