Siouxland Dairy Queen commits $100,000 on Giving Tuesday
Siouxland Dairy Queen believes in giving back to the communities in which we live,
work and do business. In correlation with Giving Tuesday, Siouxland DQ is
announcing the 4th annual grant program, DQ® Smiles & Stories, where we are
committing to give $100,000 to various non-profit organizations throughout the
communities we serve.
“Over the last three years, Siouxland DQ has donated $300,000 into the Siouxland community through this program. It has been great to see those dollars at work and the smiles on families & children’s faces. I am so glad we are able to continue this program for a 4th year,” said Keith Comstock, Concept Manager of Siouxland DQ.
The DQ® Smiles & Stories grant program is open to non-profit organizations in the
communities we serve including Sioux City, Sergeant Bluff, LeMars, Sioux Center,
Onawa, Cherokee, Canton (SD), Dell Rapids (SD) and Iowa City. Non-profit
organizations outside of these areas are still encouraged to apply.
Siouxland Dairy Queen is a member of the locally owned Aftershock Ventures, LLC
family of companies.
