It's time
for the 12th Annual Beers and Ears Party. This years event will be held
on Saturday August 7th. We'll have great music, great food, and great
auction items.
I'm happy to announce that the benefit for this year's event will be a joint benefit for Boys and Girls Home and Family Services of Sioux City and Children's Home Society of Sioux Falls.
Boys and Girls Home and Family Services, Inc. is a non-profit, human service agency that has cared for children and families for over 116 years. Originally started as an orphanage for homeless children, the agency has evolved into a treatment facility for children and families struggling with emotional, behavioral and psychiatric issues. In addition the facility offers a range of services for young children including a child care and preschool program.
The Children's Home Society (CHS) provides a home, school, and therapy for children, primarily ages 4-13, with emotional and behavioral problems. The majority of children have a history of abuse and neglect. Foster care and adoption services are provided for children who are unable to return to their birth families. CHS also provides emergency shelter services and counseling for women and children who are victims of domestic abuse.
