It was a windy day for a Barbeque but that didn't stop the Humboldt and District Community Services (HDCS) from putting one on at Civic Park in Humboldt.

I had the pleasure to speak to Mara Doepker, the support services coordinator for the HDCS and Juanine Korte, the executive director. 

Doepker explains what the Humboldt and District Community Services do for the Community, "We are a nonprofit organization that assists anyone who is experiencing any barriers in their life, whether it's through employment or daily living, we are here to help." 

Doepker and Korte both believe that awareness has been a huge part of the organization. "It's important to build awareness so people know the organization is there, so when people are struggling they know where to reach out to."

There are many social programs, youth clubs, monthly dances, and many more events/fundraisers put on by the HDCS that are always looking for volunteers. 

Korte and Doepker, along with the whole HDCS organization, would like to say a big thank you to all the ongoing support they continually receive throughout the year from the community, the citizens, surrounding communities, businesses, and other organizations.
