Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks with Pastor Jeff Hayes, Director of the Faith Temple Food Giveaway and Josh Hayes Assistant Director of Operations at Faith Temple Food Giveaway.

From their website:

 Our MISSION

Our mission is simple:  We want to bless and help others out of an overflow of the ultimate gift we have been given through Jesus. We believe we are called to carry out what Jesus said in Matthew 25:35-40.

​

"For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in; I needed clothes, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you looked after me; I was in prison, and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"

Friday
Giveaways

Every Friday, our organization works hard to provide food for over 4,000 people in our community through our weekly food giveaway program. We are dedicated to serving those in need and making a positive impact in our community.

Education

By providing education to clients about how to cook certain foods, recipes, providing seed kits, and other programs, we aim to empower our guests with the knowledge and skills necessary for a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. This not only improves their physical wellbeing but also contributes to a better holistic quality of life by promoting self-sufficiency, creativity, and overall happiness.

Food Delivery

Folks who do not have access to a working vehicle or those with disabilities are eligible to receive weekly shelf stable food boxes through our delivery program, which utilizes DoorDash. This ensures that guests have access to nutritious options even if they are unable to attend the food giveaway in person.

Donate!

Donations have a massive impact on fighting food insecurity. When people are able to donate money or goods, it provides resources to those who need them the most. Without donations, organizations would not be able to provide services and meals to individuals struggling with hunger and food insecurity. 

 

In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, donations make an even more significant impact. Our organization, for example, feeds thousands of people every week in the Sioux Falls area through our various programs. With donations from generous individuals across the country, we are able to maintain these programs and help fight food insecurity in our city. 

 

By donating even a small amount of money or goods, you can help us make an incredible difference within the Sioux Falls community. Your generosity will go directly toward providing meals and groceries for families in need, allowing them to focus on getting back on their feet instead of worrying about where they will find their next meal.
