Feeding South Dakota, the state’s largest hunger relief organization, has received a donation of 72,000 pounds of pork loins from PIPESTONE, an ag services company focused on helping family pork producers.
Feeding South Dakota will distribute a majority of the pork loins in December 2024 through 108 Mobile Food Distributions held in 90 communities across the state. The remainder will be offered to Community Partners such as food pantries and meal sites.
“We are grateful to Pipestone for their continued support of providing pork loins for our neighbors,” says Megan Kjose, Chief Development Officer of Feeding South Dakota. “There are families across the state that aren’t sure how they will be able to afford a holiday meal this season, and thanks to this donation they will have a great option available for their family,”
The pork loins complement other food items to be distributed by Feeding South Dakota such as potatoes and gravy, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, and yams, that contribute to preparing a holiday meal.
“We’re thankful we can support that work that Feeding South Dakota does by providing a nutritional protein source to those facing hunger this holiday season,” says Hannah Walkes, President of Pipestone Services.
The PIPESTONE team is also providing a gift of time and has provided over 30 volunteers to pack holiday boxes at Feeding South Dakota.
