Peaches & Dreams
Every summer, for the last 10+ years, Mid-States Utility Trailer Sales, Inc in Sioux City, IA sets aside a refrigerated trailer for a specific purpose, to help a very special program known as Siouxland Youth for Christ. The trailer is used to store a large stock of peaches from out-of-state to Le Mars, Iowa where they are sold in order to raise money for the youth that are a part of the program to go to camp, as well as fund the various other operations of the program in order to reach more at-risk youth.
Every summer, Siouxland Youth for Christ sells peaches through the month of July. All proceeds go towards funding the kids for camp, as well as the other programs the youth outreach creates and manages in order to reach the kids in the program. The kids themselves work the peach sales as a volunteer effort.
The peach sales are available in the Iowa area and can be pre-ordered on their website (link below) and picked up in three different Iowa locations: Hawarden, Le Mars, and Sioux City.

Siouxland Youth for Christ is a faith-based organization whose goal is to reach out to kids in the community with a number of programs to help them in a number of ways as well as pair them with a local church in their area in order to bring them closer to Christ.
The organization has been in-place since 1978 and has reached thousands of at-risk youth. They have a chapter in five different counties in the Siouxland area to offer outstretched arms to these communities.
Siouxland Youth for Christ has a number of programs with which they can reach out to kids of various ages. They have high-school and middle-school programs to offer creative classes and work with kids to make a positive impact on their schools. They offer coaching and teamwork ministries to help kids create a community of teamwork and leadership skills. They have the summer camp, which ties closely to the peach sales previously mentioned. They reach into the communities themselves in their City Life program to “transform the lives of urban youth.” They even go into the detention centers and correctional facilities to work with youth and help them as they reenter society.
