Mission: Nutrition
The Apples, Grapefruit, Potatoes, and Carrots have arrived at HQ, and we need your hands and hearts to prepare these essential supplies for our South Dakota community. Winter is coming and we have a mission: make sure our neighbors have the nutrients they need to stay strong and healthy as the days shorten and the frost settles in.
Objective: When fresh produce reaches our center, we aim to sort, bag, and distribute it swiftly, so that it finds its way into South Dakota homes and not into the trashcan.
Start your weekend off strong, and help us from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM on Friday, November 1st pack produce for our community.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes early and dress in comfortable layers
with fully enclosed shoes. Volunteers will receive instructions and training
