SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Feeding South Dakota fills over 3,500 backpacks with food for Sioux Falls school kids to take home over the weekend.
Program Coordinator Allison Struck says when the program started they were putting food in backpacks. Struck says they had to put the backpacks into bags because some kids were being bullied for having a backpack full of food for the weekend.l
For a 75 dollar donation, which provides one student with a semester’s worth of weekend food, Feeding South Dakota will deliver a rose and a card designed by a child for Valentine’s Day.
Struck says you can call 335-0364, extension 19, to order or you can order at Feeding South Dakota's website at their donation page. All orders must be received by noon on Thursday, February 13th.
