Sioux Falls, SD - First Century selected the Children’s Home Society in Sioux Falls, South Dakota as the recipient for our 2018 local charitable organization fundraiser. Starting in September and running through October, we collected both “Wish List” items and monetary donations. First Century employees donated funds in exchange for being able to wear jeans for a specified amount of Fridays. With the support and generosity of our members, employees, Board of Directors and First Century, we collected a monetary donation of $896.44.  First Century is extremely grateful for everyone who participated in giving and helping make this drive a success.

About Sioux Falls Children’s Home Society

Established in 1893, CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY is South Dakota's oldest human services, nonprofit organization.  Their mission is to protect, support and enhance the lives of children and families.  Through a merger in 1998, Children's Inn (founded in 1977 as a domestic violence shelter) became a program of Children's Home Society.

In addition to serving victims of domestic violence and child abuse, it is also part of the CHS mission to partner with caring parents to help children with emotional or behavioral needs.  CHS programs include emergency shelter, residential treatment & education, foster care & adoption services, forensic interview & exam centers, and prevention & education resources.  CHS is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the South Dakota Department of Social Services.
