| May 1 Ribbon Cutting - The Warming Shelter |
The Warming Shelter is celebrating their 10-year anniversary as well as their new extended operations from seasonal to 365 days a year.
Since 2013 they have provided 115,000 nights of shelter to men, women, and children facing homelessness in the Siouxland area. These numbers reflect limited seasonal operations during the months of November 1- April 30. Each winter season, they begin the race against time towards the daunting date of April 30. This date has represented despair, fear, and uncertainty amongst the homeless population. Year after year, The Warming Shelter's leaders and staff have yearned for the day that their operations would extend throughout the entirety of the year regardless of season. Unfortunately, with limited funding, that goal seemed to become further and further out of reach. They have concluded that some discomfort mixed with a tiny bit of risk, and a heaping pile of FAITH is the exact recipe that has allowed them to provide an incredible 115,000 nights of shelter to the ones who need it the most. This is also the recipe that will allow them to remain open 365 days a year! “If not now, then when?” has become their motto. They will now be able to bridge the gap and provide continued services to their guests. They anticipate that this will contribute to an increase in number of the homeless individuals and families in our community that are able to obtain and sustain permanent housing!

| May 4 Ribbon Cutting - rentSUX |
Join us as we welcome rentSUX as a new Chamber member and celebrate their grand opening!
rentSUX is not your average property management company. They own and manage all their own properties, allowing them to control the entire rental experience. They work with their residents to help them build their credit and partner with them to purchase homes for themselves. They offer creative financing options for property owners looking to sell, and buyers interested in property purchases. rentSUX buys houses, multi-units, entire portfolios, and projects to flip. Their sellers will tell you, the deals they put together are “win-win.” This has been their strategy since they opened in 2021, and now with over 400 units that strategy isn’t going to change.
Please use the parking ramp on the SE corner of 5th and Jackson, or Sedgwick-Tally Abstracting parking lot. An open house will follow the ribbon cutting until 6:30PM.

Dr. Swanson was also a practicing pastor in the Siouxland community.

He worked tirelessly for those living with HIV and for families that had no safety net. He served our community as an expert in biomedical ethics and he treated everyone he met with dignity and compassion. He was a life-long learner and received his doctorate in medical ethics posthumously in 2015. Dr. Swanson shared his love for learning with his family and his patients.
