This is the time of year when our thoughts naturally turn to…shopping! With Santa’s big day just 53 days away! I’m sorry did I just get your blood pressure up with that announcement? Well, it’s true. Yet wouldn’t it be nice to know that while you doing something nice for someone else that you are also doing something for the greater good in our community?

That’s exactly what the GreaterGoods program of Volunteers of America, Dakotas is all about. We first heard about the program on Reliabank Business Beat about a year ago. So, we thought it was time to check in to find out how the Greater Goods program is working out.
