Observing MLK Day by helping SF homeless

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - As part of the Martin Luther King Junior Day observance, the Multi-Cultural Center in Sioux Falls will deliver survival kits Tuesday to agencies that will give them to the homeless.

Center Executive Director Christy Nicolaison says kids from the Center’s after-school program put together the kits.

Nicolaison says the children then talked about the importance of the kits and how you can help someone that you don't know.     

The agencies that will get the kits include Minnehaha County Human Services, the downtown Library, First Congregational and First Lutheran Churches in downtown Sioux Falls.           

The 250 kits include socks, t-shirts, sewing kits, shampoo, combs, razors and non-perishable food.
