From Humidor to Hope—Rotary's Impact at Lakota Homes

What began with an unused cigar humidor has grown into a lifeline for a community in need. In 2020, members of the Rapid City Rotary Club were made aware of the growing food insecurity in Lakota Homes, a primarily Native American housing development on the north side of Rapid City. When Chris Johnson, owner of the Tinder Box, offered an extra humidor, fellow Rotarian John Howard saw its potential—not for cigars, but for service.

Rotarians Honor Veterans

Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Sioux City showed their heartfelt support for our veterans! They wrote special cards for the veterans traveling on the Midwest Honor Flight to Washington D.C. today, June 3rd. This flight honors America’s veterans with a day of tribute at our nation’s memorials. The welcome home celebration begins with a touching "Mail Call" on the return flight, sharing gratitude and community support with our honored veterans. Thank you for your service!
