Need Food in Sioux Falls? Here’s Who Can Help

Hard times or bad luck can hit anyone. A setback can snowball and knock your life off kilter. There is no shame in getting a helping hand to weather the tough times and get back on track.

When the bad times hit, it's often food that is skipped. Money is limited, and sometimes it runs out before a family's needs can be met. Luckily, in Sioux Falls, we have the great folks at the 211 Helpline Center, where they gather and provide all types of information that the people in Sioux Falls need, including where local food pantries and food giveaways are.
