50th Anniversary
Acknowledging 50 Years of Fighting Hunger
For 50 years, Feeding South Dakota has been dedicated to fighting hunger across our state. This milestone reflects the collective effort of countless volunteers, partners, and supporters who have made it possible to provide hope and nourishment to those facing hunger. Together, we’ve built a legacy of compassion and resilience, growing from humble beginnings into a statewide leader in hunger relief.
As we acknowledge this remarkable achievement, we look forward to continuing our mission, creating innovative solutions, and fostering partnerships that ensure no one in South Dakota goes hungry.
