On today's show...
SDPB is partnering with Fred Rogers Productions to host two Be My Neighbor Day events in South Dakota. One is in Rapid City on Sept. 20 and the other in Aberdeen on Sept. 27.
Marcy Drew is SDPB's director of education. She previews the events and the values it lifts up for kids (1:10-9:10).
We then look for the helpers in South Dakota.
Amy Carter is the chief operating officer of the Helpline Center. She breaks down the resources and services available for our statewide neighborhood (9:10-21:52).
We meet an organization trying to connect vulnerable populations with trusted medical services. Dr. Melissa Dittberner is co-founder and executive director of Midwest Street Medicine (21:52-33:50).
Plus, Maggie Engler helps the neighbors who fly high above our heads. She is co-founder and executive director of the Black Hills Raptor Center (33:50-49:03).
