Waypost

At Waypost, we believe that a strong community thrives when we support one another. 🤝

That’s why our staff was thrilled to participate in this past weekend's Color Run 5K in support of Yankton Area Arts ! It was a colorful, high-energy day dedicated to raising funds to keep art, music, and creativity alive and accessible in our community.

We love investing our time into organizations that enrich the Yankton area, and we’re already looking forward to the next community event! 💙

☀️ Suns out... rolls out? 🧻

We love summer as much as the next person, but there is one kind of "wipeout" we are trying to avoid here at Waypost.

Right now, our supply shelves are looking a little bare, and we have an urgent need for toilet paper donations. It’s not the most glamorous donation, we know, but it is one of the most essential daily comforts we provide to the survivors in our care.

Help us keep the rolls rolling this summer! Thank you for always standing with our community. 💚

✨ Employee Spotlight: Kim Wells ✨

Meet Kim, our Finance Director who has been part of Waypost for over six years. While her role focuses on the financial side of things, Kim’s passion for this work runs much deeper—she is driven by the power of education and prevention. She believes that when people understand the signs of unhealthy relationships and know where to turn for help, we can reduce harm not just for individuals, but for families and entire communities.

For Kim, Waypost’s mission is simple but powerful: helping kids have happy, healthy childhoods. That purpose shows up in both big and small moments—like when a child once referred to the visitation center as “Kim’s house,” a place where they felt safe, comfortable, and excited to spend time with their parent.

Over the years, Kim has seen meaningful change in the community, especially as more people begin to recognize that abuse isn’t just physical—it can take many forms. That growing awareness is a key step toward prevention and support.

Looking ahead, Kim is excited about stepping out of the shadows, breaking the mold, and continuing to move this work forward in new and impactful ways. She also shares an important reminder: domestic violence and sexual assault are public health issues that affect entire communities—and they are preventable.

Outside of work, Kim enjoys both coffee and hot tea depending on the day (never iced tea!), and she’s always up for a reality TV binge—whether it’s Love Is Blind, Survivor, or the latest Vanderpump Rules drama ( ). And her favorite place in our service area? Home sweet home. ☕📺

Thank you, Kim, for your dedication and the important role you play in supporting our mission every day! 💜
