$20,000 Awarded to Supporters for the Hill City Ambulance

South Dakota Community Foundation (SDCF) recently awarded a $20,000 South Dakota Fund grant to the Supporters for the Hill City Ambulance. Funding will support equipment requirements to meet community needs and ensure immediate medical response.

"I am so grateful to the South Dakota Community Foundation for the $20,000 matching grant", says Lori Comer, President of Supporters for the Hill City Ambulance. "Items such as a generator, snowplow, lawn mower as well as replacement batteries for the LUCAS (Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System) are vital to the day-to-day operations of our ambulance service."

The Supporters for the Hills City Ambulance nonprofit was formed with the mission of supporting the Hill City ambulance with ongoing efforts through advocacy and fundraising. These efforts will ensure Hill City and the surrounding area remain a safe and secure community. The board consists of all volunteers and is committed to the well-being of the community and those who visit the area throughout the year.

“Ambulance services are a critical component, especially in such a rural area,” says Ginger Niemann, SDCF Senior Program Officer. “We are pleased to partner with the Supporters for the Hill City Ambulance, ensuring the availability of immediate medical attention.”
