By KENT THOMPSON
Humboldt County has a new way of helping the most vulnerable in our community during times of declared disasters.
The Humboldt County Community Foundation (HCCF) has established a Disaster Recovery Fund (DRF) to support the most negatively impacted populations as they face the effects of COVID-19.
“The flexibility of the fund will ensure that the community will be able to respond to needs that are not being met by existing non-profit, local, state and federal programs,” Humboldt County Community Foundation President Alissa O’Connor said in announcing the program.
To kick-start the effort, the Community Foundation’s Advisory Board has committed an immediate $50,000 to the DRF. Those funds come from a percentage of endowed funds to the Foundation and about $10,000 from the general grant funds.

Livermore Daze a go for Saturday

Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/16/2020 - 12:02am

The north central Iowa band Farm Rock will be performing at Livermore Daze on Saturday night, July 18.

Being an active part of the community means pitching in to help when the town needs a hand.
Such was the case this summer in the Humboldt County town of Livermore.
Team Livermore, which has annually sponsored the Livermore Daze community events and large street dance, decided it would be too difficult to have a possible mass gathering event given the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the state.
Enter William “Will” Smith, dual business owner of AC/DC Welding and Sweet Water Spirits, and member of the Livermore City Council.
“I understand the committee’s concern. Everyone was cancelling everything all around. I just thought, come on, we can do something, even on a smaller scale,” Smith said.
So, Smith decided to organize the town celebration himself, and it will have many of the traditional Livermore Daze activities on Saturday, July 18.
