THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2025 | WASHTENAW & JACKSON COUNTY, MI – Chelsea State Bank and its employees donated $2,406 to Faith in Action on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. The dollars raised for this donation came from Chelsea State Bank (CSB) employees and a bank match as part of their ongoing Blue Jean for Charity Fund.

Employees donate $3 per person weekly, allowing them to wear jeans to work on Fridays. Chelsea State Bank then matches the employee donations for the selected non-profit agency.
“Faith in Action provides critical support to alleviate hunger and poverty in the Dexter, Chelsea, and surrounding communities,” said Joanne Rau, President and CEO, Chelsea State Bank. “Faith in Action helps families during vulnerable times with their basic needs.
