Good morning, Sioux Falls.

Local volunteers are making a big difference by helping at Good Earth State Park and supporting programs that care for animals and families in Sioux Falls.

Their work includes tasks like cleaning, guiding visitors, and fundraising (for groups such as Dakota Dachshund Rescue and The Foster Network) as National Volunteer Week runs through Saturday.

A scavenger hunt through downtown Sioux Falls gave participants a close look at the challenges faced by the unhoused during a fundraiser at Remedy Brewing on Saturday afternoon — organizers from Midwest Street Medicine and local partners provided clue packets that highlighted issues such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and discrimination. Money raised will support essential medical care and related services for those experiencing homelessness.

Police responded to a crash on E 33rd on April 26th around 6:00 a.m.—the incident was reportedly alcohol-related when one driver hit two parked cars.

Sioux Falls police are investigating an early morning stabbing that occurred just before 1:30 a.m. Saturday near West 12th Street and South Western Avenue— a man with an abdominal stab wound was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and no suspects are in custody.
