There in a Disaster

With June and July being the most active months of severe weather, it is reassuring to know a local agency is ready to help if a local disaster occurs.

House fires, flooding, tornadoes...the Sioux Empire Chapter of the American Red Cross responds to area disasters. Providing a variety of services, including:

Food and beverages for emergency responders
Immediate food, shelter, and basic supplies for disaster victims.
And a shoulder to lean on.

Volunteers for the Red Cross are often some of the first people victims of disaster speak with. The volunteers are trained to aid the victims in picking up the pieces following a disaster.

Read a first-hand account of how the Red Cross assists our friends and neighbors in their times of need.

Connecting Kids

Local studies show that cost and lack of awareness are reasons some children aren't able to join the numerous activities available to them across the Sioux Empire. Connecting Kids ensures every child in our four county area has the same opportunity to get involved in extra-curricular activities.

Connecting Kids certificates are available for all students in grades K-8. In 2008, 660 certificates were used total. In the first 6 months of 2009, over 400 certificates were used.
