Community

For the people, land, and businesses that keep Virginia growing.

F&M Bank was founded to serve farmers and merchants - and that purpose still guides us today.

Since 1908, we’ve supported the people, businesses, and industries that shape our communities, with local decisions, long-term relationships, and a commitment to reinvesting where we live and work.

Branded Tree Asset

Strong Communities Don’t Happen by Chance

They grow through steady support, shared investment, and people who show up.

 
 
Our Brand Pillars
We focus our community efforts around three core pillars: Sustenance, Security, and Enrichment—supporting the people, businesses, and organizations that make our communities strong.

These pillars are grounded in our GROW values—Gregarious, Resolute, Original, Wholehearted—and reflect how we show up every day. 

From financial education to long-standing community partnerships, our approach is simple: invest locally, show up consistently, and help our communities move forward.

Meet Our Mascot


Sammy the Squirrel began as a class project by an F&M Bank marketing employee at West Virginia University, created to give the brand a more approachable, memorable personality.

A squirrel was the perfect fit—living in trees like the F&M logo, saving for the future, and appearing throughout the communities we serve.

After a brief trial run (with a costume costing under $100), Sammy quickly became a crowd favorite and has grown into a recognizable part of the F&M brand.

Investing in Our Local Youth
