The Greater Dallas County Development Alliance held a wonderful annual business event at Stine Barn in West Des Moines today. They captured so many of the successes and victories happening around the county while honoring some of the challenges overcome along the way. We appreciate special recognition given to Dallas County Hospital in front of dozens of guests today for serving as a beacon of hope for communities, specifically in relation to our mobile food pantries and additional programs provided to help those facing food insecurity. We thank them and appreciate their work in volunteering at our pantries, securing donations to elevate these programs, and partnering with us to advance the overall health and vitality of our amazing county!

Our October Member of the Month and Annual Meeting title sponsor is South Story Bank & Trust! "Community is at the heart of our story. Our partnership with the Dallas County Development Alliance aligns with our mission. In our local, bustling communities where every face and small business tells a story, our mission began with a simple yet profound belief: that community is not just a backdrop, but the very essence of our narrative. From the outset, we recognized that our strength lies in the diverse tapestry of voices, experiences, and opportunities woven together. Each member of our community adds a unique thread, creating a rich fabric of connection and understanding. Our mission is to honor these differences, ensuring that every story is heard and valued through open dialogues, community events, and collaborative projects. We invite everyone to share their Stories. We listen intently, drawing inspiration from the triumphs, challenges and aspirations of our neighbors. We are very involved with a number of local non-profits like Habitat for Humanity and Food Bank of Iowa. Our team gave back through more than 1,000 hours of volunteer time in 2023 and we are on track to top that number this year. The SSBT Charitable Foundation matches employee dollars donated to local organizations, doubling the impact of those dollars in our communities. Our bank is relationship-driven. GDCDA helps me build relationships and gain a deeper understanding of the region and businesses we are trying to attract.?GDCDA provides valuable insights into available resources, potential incentives, and community initiatives. It’s a collaborative effort that’s helping shape the local economic landscape."- Jeff Harder A special thank you to South Story Bank & Trust for sponsoring our Annual Meeting and being a member of the Alliance! Last chance to register for our Annual Meeting happening in two days! https://lnkd.in/gPzPbQg3 #DalCo #Membership
