Help our drive to support Sioux Falls Food Pantry!

Do you have an extra box of cereal or an extra toothbrush?

As part of our ongoing '40 Days of Peace' project to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., we are hosting a drive to support the Sioux Falls Food Pantry. Our third event theme, 'Add GOOD DEEDS,' was our inspiration to host a food/personal care item drive.

Bring a non-perishable food item or personal care item to Volunteers of America, Dakotas' Bowden Youth Center on 430 W. 11th Street in Sioux Falls. Come for a free meal and to listen to our speaker, John Beranek. The event starts at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 13.

Not sure what to bring? Here are some ideas:
  • Non-perishable food
    • Cold Cereal – Bags or Boxes
    • Hamburger & Tuna Helpers
    • Meats & Stews – Canned
    • Saltine Crackers – 16 oz boxes
    • Snacks & Cookies – Packaged
    • Chips – Packaged
    • Grape Jelly
    • Peanut Butter – 18 oz jars
    • Vegetables & Fruits – Canned
  • Personal Care Items
    • Toothpaste & Brushes
    • Deodorant
    • Shampoo
    • Conditioner
    • Skin lotion
    • Hard Soap
