We had a very successful and fun gift giving day on December 20. Despite the power being out at Custer Lutheran Fellowship all went as planned. The Storehouse distributed Christmas dinner makings and Select A Gift gave gift cards for adults and toys for children to 242 families . Thanks to all who helped make this a success all along the way!

Select A Gift Needs your Help!
With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas drawing ever closer and we are again asking the generous folks of Custer to contribute toward a happier Christmas for the families in Custer County who may not otherwise receive Christmas gifts.
To help us reach the challenge of the Select A Gift committee to raise at least $20,000 this year we are extending our time for accepting donations. We already have more families signed up this year than a year ago at this time and this is why we really need your help!
Find a tree from the list below before December 17 (the sooner the better for us to purchase gifts!), and place your cash or check made out to Select A Gift in one of the envelopes provided, then drop in the secure red lock boxes at the following locations: Custer Area Chamber of Commerce (M-F 9am-4pm); Highmark Federal Credit Union; South Dakota Outdoor Shop; Dacotah Bank, and The Custer Beacon. The following churches will have drop boxes available before and after services: Custer Lutheran Fellowship, St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Custer Community Church, and Our Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Or you can mail your check made out Select a Gift to PO Box 366, Custer SD 57730. Again, this year there is a QR code on our posters around town or on our Select A Gift page for Venmo donations.
We are grateful for all of the support from the Custer community over the years. Have a lovely Holiday season.
If you are a Custer County resident or know of someone or a family who
could use some help this Christmas, please call Donna at 605-440-0518 or
inquire at The Storehouse to find out if you qualify for this program.
