Mobile Distributions
Feeding South Dakota serves ALL 66 counties in the state and over 12,000 families per month.
HOW?
Because our Mobile Food Distribution Program allows Feeding South Dakota to go where hunger is, instead of hunger having to find us.
Every successful distribution includes staff and volunteers to ensure our guests are welcomed and provided with food in an efficient and friendly manner. Most volunteers get to see just one distribution in action, but this unique opportunity will allow you to see a distribution at three different locations: Clear Lake, Lake Norden, and Arlington.
Each stop will provide you a chance to get some sunshine, meet other volunteers and guests, and help rural communities in need. This is a great opportunity for all who are curious about food insecurity and how it impacts rural communities, or anyone who would just like an excuse to get to hang out with Keith while doing good in the community!
