RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – The Feeding South Dakota Sioux Falls location received a $175,000 grant from Avera Health.
The money goes towards mobile distribution across all of Feeding South Dakota locations including Rapid City.
Officials for Feeding South Dakota said this is the most expensive time in food bank history.
The donated funds will help with the demanding increase statewide for food security.
The Rapid City organization currently has 37 partnered locations that serve close to 4,400 families with their mobile outreach, according to the western volunteer coordinator for Feeding South Dakota, Kimberly Wallace.
Wallace said these funds will help with mobile distribution or when the team helps drop off food to other areas in the community.
“A donation like this, again, providing half a million meals across the state and being able to support the mobile process is really big for us. A lot of work goes into it between packing boxes, mapping out locations, things like that, and so Avera support really is such recognition that we’re doing good work,” Wallace said.
Wallace said starting mobile food distribution after the pandemic hit has helped reach more members in surrounding communities in need of food assistance.

5 safety tips for winter driving conditions in Arizona
Taking a trip up to Flagstaff or driving through Prescott during the Arizona winter? Here are five tips to stay safe when cruising on winter roads.
The Republic
State Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, announced on the social media platform X on Sunday that he had left the hospital, about a week after breaking bones and suffering other injuries in a single-car crash in South Dakota.
Kern, who was visiting family, was riding with a friend through a snowstorm when the car hit ice and the driver lost control.
He posted that he was out of the critical stage and making his way back to Phoenix, but he couldn’t fly due to a collapsed lung.
Kern is finishing his first state Senate term after three terms in the state House. This fall, he opted to run for a congressional seat rather than seek a return to the state Capitol but lost the GOP race for Congressional District 8 to Abe Hamadeh.
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
