Minden marks one year since EF-3 tornado
MINDEN, Iowa — It was April 26th when the tornado roared across the southeast part of Minden. In all, 50 homes were destroyed, and numerous others were damaged. The city's utilities were knocked out by the storm. One year later, almost all has been repaired, but the town's water supply has a temporary unit borrowed from the State of Iowa. 'It's been a lot of work I mean we got a lot of houses are coming back, there's still some that need worked on, but a lot of them are close to being able to move back in,' said Mayor Keith Zimmerman. 'The community center, all of our city buildings, they all need worked on yet we haven't done them yet.' Paige Myers runs a catering business in Minden. She got a call from her dad shortly after the tornado hit. Local law enforcement partner with DEA for Drug Take Back Day 'He had called me and they must've just been coming over the hill and he's like 'the town's gone. The whole town's gone,'' said Myers. 'I have three aunts and they all live in Minden and the two of them, two of them lost their houses and then my sister-in-law also lost their house.' Myers said she was able to finish her catering work even in the midst of tornado damage. She's thankful for all the people who came to Minden to help clean up. 'A lot of my high school friends all moved away from here and came in that Sunday when they opened the town to people,' said Myers. 'I had tons of classmates back from Des Moines or Omaha. They all came back.' Myers had to repair the roof of her downtown building, but she was able to keep working at her business through all this. Tim Assmann, of Tim's Service, decided to rebuild his auto repair shop across the street from his former location. He also built a much larger shop, which he plans to open for business next week. 'Minden itself is a very, it's only a town of 600 people, a very small community,' said Assmann. 'Everyone has gotten together. Everyone is helping each other's businesses and homeowners, we are Minden Strong.' The community will enjoy a meal together at the town Triangle Park from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 26.

Mirabito launches ‘Round Up' program to benefit Southern Tier Food Bank
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Shoppers at local Mirabito Convenience Stores can help feed the less fortunate this month. The gas station chain has launched a Round Up program to benefit the Food Bank of the Southern Tier throughout March. Customers at stores within the Food Bank's 6-county region will be asked to round up their in-store purchases with the money going to help feed the hungry. The Food Bank's Corporate Partnerships Manager Maddy McClenahan says the small individual donations can add up to thousands of dollars. 'Just being here this morning, I got to interact with a bunch of them and got to speak on the impact their donation has. It really is true that the smallest amount truly does make a significant difference,' McClenahan said. This Round Up campaign is one of several Mirabito schedules throughout the year at its 109 stores, each one benefiting a different regional charity. Marketing Director Marissa Sweeney says the company steps in at the end with a contribution of its own. 'At the end of this campaign, Mirabito Convenience Stores rounds up that round up as well, really making that significant impact. So, really it's a partnership between Mirabito Convenience Stores and our community partners. We're not just relying on our community members to round up their purchases, we're doing our part to round up as well,' Sweeney said. Mirabito is also contributing to the Food bank of Central New York and the Regional Food Bank to address hunger in the counties they serve as well. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
