SOS: Help Pack Food at Feeding South Dakota

About this event

Our community needs help getting food packed for community members across the state.

High Need:

November 2nd, 9-11AM

November 11th, 9-11AM

December 9th, 5-7 PM

What You'll Do:

Your tasks may vary, but they’re all about putting food on the table! Shifts last up to 2 hours and may include:

BackPack Program Help us pack nutritious food for kids in Sioux Falls! Work alongside fellow volunteers in an assembly line—some packing while others restock supplies. Together, we’ll make sure kids have the fuel they need to learn and grow.

Food Box Packing Get involved in packing food boxes for our local seniors or for mobile distributions that support families. It’s a great way to connect with others while making a real impact in your community.

Bulk Food Processing Join us in our bulk food room, where we take larger quantities and turn them into family-sized portions, including bulk produce.

Support and Training:

Please arrive at least 5 minutes early and dress in comfy layers with enclosed shoes. We’ll give you the scoop on your tasks and provide support throughout your shift.

Who Can Volunteer:

Must be able to stand and walk for 1-2 hours.

Able to lift at least 5 pounds.

All abilities are welcome! If you need accommodations, reach out to us at info@feedingsouthdakota.org.

A waiver must be signed before volunteering. If you’re under 18, don’t forget to have a parent or guardian sign it.

Age Requirements:

For safety, all volunteers must be 11 years or older, and those under 14 should bring a parent or guardian to help out.
