A FULL LIST OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES IS COMING SOON
Delcan Hobbs CPR/AED Fund
The Declan Hobbs CPR/AED Training Fund, supported by Mitchell United Way, provides free CPR and AED training for daycare providers and teachers in our community. This initiative ensures that those responsible for the care and safety of children are equipped with life-saving skills, enhancing the overall safety and preparedness of educational and childcare environments. By making this training accessible at no cost, the fund aims to foster a safer community for everyone.
​
This fund was established by the Hobbs family after Declan was saved by his daycare provider, Rose Menning, thanks to her CPR training. In honor of this life-saving act, the family partnered with Mitchell United Way to create this fund.
Cardiac Ready Community (CRC)
During a cardiac emergency, every second...every minute that passes without CPR or AED use can mean the difference between life and death. It can take the ambulance 30 minutes to respond in South Dakota's more remote areas. But in Mitchell, we are prepared and ready!
The Cardiac Ready Community (CRC) Program helps educate, equip, and empower local community members to be better prepared and more confident in helping someone experiencing a cardiac event before the ambulance arrives. Start the conversation in your community and help assemble a CRC Team!

Dolly Parton Imagination Library
Mitchell United Way also supports the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, ensuring that every child aged birth-5 in Davison County receives free books. This initiative fosters early childhood literacy and a love of reading, providing young children with the resources they need to succeed. Year to date, Mitchell United Way has provided over 2,100 children with books. To register visit the Imagination Library Website or contact Ashley Hobbs at ashley@mitchellunitedway.org.
SMILES Dental Bus
Mitchell United Way supports the Smiles Dental Bus, which provides essential dental care to children in need. This mobile dental clinic ensures that children in our community have access to oral health services, promoting healthier smiles and overall well-being.
Day of Caring
Mitchell United Way's Day of Caring is an annual event dedicated to bringing volunteers together to support local community projects. This day of service involves individuals and groups working on various initiatives around the Mitchell community. The Day of Caring demonstrates the collective power of volunteerism, showing that by working together, we can make a meaningful difference in Mitchell.
