Sioux Falls food drive supports pantries hit by cuts
SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO) – A 'Day of Action' food drive is set at Van Eps Park this Saturday.
The event runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the park located at 300 N. Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls schools and libraries host 'Everybody Reads'
Community organizers have organized a food drive to support Feeding South Dakota and other food pantries that have been impacted by recent funding cuts.
Volunteers will be accepting donations of shelf-stable food items throughout the event. Cash and online donations to Feeding South Dakota will also be accepted.
Some of their needed items include:
Peanut butter and jelly
Canned goods
Rice, pasta, and tortillas
Cereals and granola bars
A permit has been granted for the event.
605 Speaks is the host of food drive/rally. The group has had downtown assemblies before, usually taking place outside of the Federal Courthouse.
No events will be taking place at the Federal Courthouse this weekend, as downtown businesses are hosting a children's egg hunt, and organizers want the family event to be unencumbered by rally-goers and donation drop offs.
