It’s been said that all a child needs to succeed is a little help, a little hope, and someone who believes in them. When it comes to our kids, Sioux Falls Thrive does more than help, hope, and believe. We’re dedicated to making sure all children succeed, from cradle to career. That’s the mission of Sioux Falls Thrive.
We focus on 3 critical needs for school-age children:
Affordable Housing
Influencing, advocating for, and supporting stable housing on behalf of the most vulnerable populations in the Sioux Falls area.
Food Security
Envisioning a reliable, interconnected food system where every neighborhood has access to fresh and rescued healthy food resources.
.
Out-of-School Enrichment
Finding and promoting ways to enhance opportunities for all children outside school hours.
