Boy Scout Food Drive - This an annual food drive held
by the Boy Scout Troops in Rapid City and Sioux Falls. In the
late fall every year, Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops join forces
to distribute food donation bags door-to-door throughout the
city. At a later day or time, they return to collect those bags
of donations. Through the efforts of these young men, we
collectively receive over 60,000 pounds in much-needed food
donations.
Girl Scouts Personal Care Drive
Student Hunger Drive - A food and fund drive that is coordinated through the Sioux Empire area middle schools. Each year
during a two-week period in late November and early December, students from each participating school compete against each other to see who can collect the most food and funds. These wonderful young men and women collect over 20,000 pounds in food and over $20,000 in cash each year.
Sportsmen Against Hunger - A non-profit organization that encourages South Dakota hunters to donate a portion or all of their wild game to help in the fight against hunger. This program coordinates with local game processors who agree to process, at a reduced cost, wild game that will be donated to area hunger-fighting organizations. Additionally, each fall SAH sponsors a “Clean Out Your Freezer” drive to get hunters to donate their leftover game from the prior season. As meat is one of the more difficult products to get donated, the efforts of this group help provide a valuable and nutritious product to help those in need.
National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive - This is a nationwide annual food drive event put on by the National Letter Carriers Union. Each spring, local letter carriers solicit and collect food donations from postal customers
on their delivery routes. Between the Rapid City and Sioux Falls areas, we receive over 50,000 pounds in food donations.
