Today, we are $10,000 short of our minimum goal for 2021. We need your help.
During the Pandemic we have provided and produced great results for the people in Dumas and SEARK. On Thursday December 16, leaders from across the state and nation converged in Dumas for a day being celebrated as “Arkansas is REDI.” REDI, is Rural Economic Development Innovation.
Dumas was one of 47 national recipients that received the 2019 award. Since the award, the Dumas REDI leaders have distributed over $700,000 in food, produced and presented programs from Dumas to DC ranging from creative talent and awards programs to health, wellness and education events.
Dumas REDI leaders, The College of Aspiring Artists, ASC Property Management, THE LEGACY CENTER in West Dumas and new partners are seeking support from businesses and community foundations to join the efforts for 2022 by attending this end of the year forum and distribution.
