Siouxland DQ unveiled a new volunteer recognition program, Smiles & Stories Difference Makers, in 2019. This program was designed to recognize outstanding volunteers in the Siouxland area who make a positive difference in our community. Area non-profit organizations nominated their volunteers who go above & beyond.
