In other news, BSE partnered with its customers to donate $56,000 to American Red Cross to support its disaster response preparation in western North Dakota.
According to a Border States press release, with the rise in population, the need for emergency services in western North Dakota is growing. To prepare for future disaster response, the Red Cross needed a vehicle, trailer and first aid supplies for the region.
The Red Cross approached BSE to help it acquire a vehicle, trailer and first-aid supplies. BSE’s Dickinson, Minot, and Williston, N.D., branches worked with key customers in the area to support the Red Cross. Because of the support BSE received from its customer partners in this endeavor, the company surpassed its Red Cross commitment goals with a total commitment to the Red Cross of $56,175.
