SOUTH SIOUX CITY, Neb. (KTIV) - A check for $1,200 was presented to the South Sioux City Police Officers Association, today.
The donation came from F&M bank. Bank employees raised funds by paying for the chance to wear jeans on the last Friday of each month. The bank then matched the funds raised.
The employees had a choice of where to donate the money. Officials say that it was a way to thank first responders during these difficult times. Well this has been a challenging year for everybody as we all know but we especially wanted to thank our frontline, our first responders. We ve got a great working relationship with the police department here and we thought that they d be very worthy nominees of our donation this year said Brent Ruch, Vice President of F&M Bank.

HARRISBURG Pennsylvania tenants and homeowners missed out on roughly $108 million of $175 million in federal coronavirus relief because state programs distributing the funding made it too hard to access, Spotlight PA has found. The remaining money will be redistributed to the state’s Department of Corrections.
Over the summer, Pennsylvania created two new housing programs to spend money it received under the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act: $150 million for rent relief and $25 million for mortgage help. Thousands of struggling families applied up until an extended Nov. 4 deadline, as coronavirus shutdowns led to layoffs, lost wages, and missed rent and mortgage payments. Local governments and nonprofits administering the funds were inundated with phone calls and emails from people pleading for help with the demanding application processes.
