SD Central Chapter Donation_Helping HandsThe SD Central Chapter of Credit Unions recently presented the Helping Hands with a monetary donation.  Helping Hands is a thrift store/food pantry located in Huron that has been in operation since 2004.  All of their employees are volunteers, with the exception of one who is paid by Experience Works; therefore the money they earn in the thrift store is used to provide food to people in need.  They accept a variety of donation items including:  non-perishable food, clothing, household items, books, appliances, etc.  (If interested in donating clean usable items or shopping in the store, they are located at the intersection of Hwy 14 & Hwy 37 across from Taco Johns.)  They are open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 12-4pm. The SD Central Chapter of Credit Unions consists of six credit unions –Dakotaland Federal Credit Union, M-O Federal Credit Union, Huron Area Educational Federal Credit Union, HB Telco Federal Credit Union, Huron CNW Federal Credit Union (All of Huron), and Oahe Federal Credit Union (of Pierre).  The funds were raised through 50/50 drawings at monthly chapter meetings, with matching funds coming from the Credit Union Association of the Dakotas.
