On November 1, 2019, Black Hills Energy presented Youth & Family Services (YFS) staff and board members with a gift of $50,000 to support our current facility expansion project at our 120 E. Adams Street site.

This generous gift was presented by leaders from Black Hills Energy at their third quarterly Community Giveback event, held at their corporate headquarters here in Rapid City. This event provided generous support to 18 different organizations serving our Black Hills community in important and crucial ways. Both their local utility and the Black Hills Corporation Foundation have been making grants to worthwhile nonprofit organizations throughout the history of the corporation, but this is the third time they have hosted a collective recognition event in honor of their community partners. 

“We are extremely thankful of the continued support and generosity that Black Hills Energy shares with YFS,” stated Connie Olson, YFS’ Development Director. “This gift is going to make a significant, positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and families throughout western South Dakota.”
