Families across South Dakota received a free turkey for the holidays, through a partnership of Team Buche Cares and G.F. Buche Co.
Distribution of 100,000 pounds of turkey took place in 121 communities, including all nine South Dakota tribes. Team Buche Cares coordinated with local food pantries and tribal leaders to deliver all turkeys to families ahead of the Christmas holiday.
GF Buche Co owns and operates grocery, convenience, auto parts and hardware/lumber stores along with fast food restaurants in 23 locations in 12 different communities throughout South Dakota.
Team Buche Cares coordinates several initiatives to address hunger in rural South Dakota, including through support of local food pantries, coordinating summer feeding programs for children, and increasing access to healthy foods. The charitable organization provides a wide range of services that also includes scholarship funding for high school seniors and financial support for cancer patients. Team Buche Cares resources are supported through the 2024 Rooster Roundup event, which marked the organization’s first fundraising effort, with proceeds dedicated to feeding families in these 121 communities.
