Sudden cardiac arrest is a critical issue in Republic County, where AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are used in only 13% of cases, and just 7% of the time by laypersons. To address this, Republic County Hospital
(RCH) launched a crucial initiative to improve cardiac resuscitation by purchasing a Hospital ZOLL defibrillator and ten portable ZOLL AEDs.

The Republic County Hospital was able to purchase a Panda Infant Warmer for their OB department with funds from a grant from the Republic County Community Foundation.

USD 109 FCS room at Republic County Junior/Senior High School needed a more functional work space for students. Students who are able to utilize a space and use it to learn culinary skills, such as a knife skill competition, can apply this to home or a job in the future. This project provided extra seats for students within the classroom to see the smartboard and extra space on tables to write.
