Take Action Now to End Hunger
Access to nutritious food is a fundamental right that lays the foundation for human well-being and potential. Yet, over 106,000 people in South Dakota face hunger daily. Joining the nationwide movement to end hunger helps ensure everyone, regardless of race, background or ZIP code, has access to the food and resources needed to thrive.
