Project: SOS

Almost 6,000 free backpacks distributed to kids going back to school.

Each year The Banquet in Sioux Falls gives away over 6,000 backpacks to children whose families have limited resources. And Saturday August 19 is giveaway day.

With the start of school right around the corner, the Banquet's 'Project SOS' is in dire need of volunteers and school supplies.

The Banquet's Project: SOS is teaming with Walmart East in Sioux Falls and School Bus Inc to collect enough school supplies to stuff a bus.
