March, 2006
Dave Gleason was awarded an Advocacy Award through the Ways to Work program from the Northeast South Dakota Community Action Program (NESDCAP).
Mr. Gleason, along with the NESDCAP, strives to ensure that periodic, unexpected expenses do not devastate families, but rather can be met in a way that fosters self-sufficiency, dignity and the strengthening of family resources and values.
NESDCAP has provided 45 loans since February 2003 and of that number, the Sisseton Federal Credit Union has partnered with 32 loans.
The Ways to Work program works in partnership with local lending institutions through assisting borrowers to build their credit history and establish a relationship with their local banker.
The Ways to Work program assists low-income families by providing loans which allows them to stay on the job or enrolled in school, even when faced with unexpected challenges. Loans of various sizes, ranging from $850 for car repairs and up to $4,000 for a used car purchase are available to families meeting program eligibility.
Loans may also be put toward other needs such as childcare and housing. Check with NESDCAP for eligibility requirements.
Others successful partnering lending institutions recognized were:
- Britton Federal Credit Union
- Dakotaland Federal Credit Union, Huron
- First National Bank, Woonsocket
- Heartland State Bank, Highmore
- Peoples State Bank, Summit
- First State Bank, Wilmot
