CSS is proud to partner with the Why Not You? coalition to bring "Hope for the Journey," a free conference for foster and adoptive families, to area families.

DW is just one of the many people who's health and finances have been negatively impacted by Covid 19 here in Rapid City. Like many others, he found help and hope from the CSS Covid-19 Response Fund.
After recovering from Covid and two months of residual health effects, DW began working at a new outdoors job recently. But his old work boots had holes in the soles and he had no warm coat for sub-zero temperatures. CSS was able to work with other organizations to get him a voucher for new boots and warm clothing and food for himself and his child. CSS provided money to help with gas to get work and other needs until he gets his first paycheck.
This is what DW had to say when he got our check:![]()
I really appreciate everything. There are not words to explain how extremely thankful I am. Thank you so much. God bless you and your organization. I'm so grateful for the help.....thank you so much!![]()
