Burlington, IA (June 16, 2026) First Mid Bank & Trust is proud to donate $25,000 to Young House Behavioral Health, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the communities served by Two Rivers Bank & Trust. The nonprofit organization has provided behavioral and mental health services in Southeast Iowa for more than 50 years.
Young House Executive Director Eric Schilling said the donation will support an ongoing renovation project designed to transform the building into a more welcoming, comfortable space for community members seeking behavioral and mental health support.
“We want to soften the environment and create a place that feels safe and supportive so our clients feel welcomed the moment they walk through the door,” Schilling said. “It was a space that was underutilized and renovating it will give us the ability to serve more people and make the overall atmosphere more inviting. At a time when small nonprofits often struggle for resources, we are grateful for First Mid’s financial support to help provide an environment that truly supports every individual’s recovery.”

Supporting organizations that strengthen local communities has long been a priority for both First Mid and Two Rivers. Following the previously announced acquisition of Two Rivers, First Mid chose to support Young House because of its commitment to helping vulnerable individuals find help, hope, and healing.
“As someone who has lived and worked in this community for many years, I can attest to what an invaluable resource Young House has been to Southeast Iowa,” said Shane Zimmerman, Western Division President at First Mid. “Organizations like Young House play an important role in improving the quality of life in our communities, and supporting their work reflects the values that have long been important to both Two Rivers and First Mid. Young House has been making a difference for decades, and we are proud to help further its mission.”
The donation reflects First Mid’s ongoing commitment to supporting local organizations throughout the communities served by Two Rivers and investing in initiatives that create lasting community impact.
The renovation project began earlier this spring and is expected to be completed in June. Schilling said the progress so far has already resulted in a remarkable transformation.
