ICAP’s 60’s Plus Dining is an adult meal program serving quality nutritious meals to any person aged 60 or over, and their spouses. There is no income, or health guidelines to participate. Our goal is to prevent malnutrition, and isolation, which are major causes of health problems for our aging society. 60’s Plus Dining began serving meals in 1973, and currently has over 3,000 clients throughout 10 counties in east-central South Dakota. There are 4 main options for meals, Congregate, Star Card, Home Delivered, and Frozen Meals.

Congregate meals are offered for lunch Monday through Friday, at senior centers, cafés, and apartment complexes throughout our service area. A variety of balanced meals, mostly comfort foods, are served in a group setting to provide quality nutrition, and socialization.

Home Delivered hot meals are provided Monday through Friday to clients who are unable to travel to, or meet at, our congregate or star card locations. A visit from one of our volunteers, offering a hot nutritious meal, often is the only social contact that many of our homebound clients receive each day, helping ease the problem of isolation.

Five Pack Frozen Meals are the perfect solution for both seniors on the go, as well as for those South Dakota seniors that live in isolation, or in areas that do not have even the basic food options. Many rural areas are considered food deserts. Without access to healthy foods, people living in these areas may be at higher risk of diet-related conditions, including malnutrition. Frozen meals have been a great tool to reach seniors in our rural food desert areas, where services were discontinued years ago.

We’re looking for reliable and compassionate volunteers to serve as Meal Transport Volunteers for our Center for Families. This role involves picking up the prepared lunch meal from the Bishop Dudley Hospitality House (downtown location) and delivering it to our Center for Families around 3:00 PM each weekday but Tuesday. Though it's lunch, the meal is served as dinner at our center.

Duties Include:

Requirements:

This role is perfect for someone who has a short window of time but wants to make a meaningful impact. By delivering the evening meal, you’re directly supporting families experiencing homelessness with nourishment and dignity.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Dakota supports families of critically ill children who are receiving treatment at a local hospital. As a part of our services, each family is provided with a blanket upon checking in. We have two Houses here in Sioux Falls, with a combined total of 29 rooms. This means we have a constant need to replenish our blanket supply.

We are not picky on type of blanket, whether it is a handmade tie blanket, handmade quilt, or newly purchased. Our only restriction is that we cannot accept used blankets, due to our immunocompromised population. You are able to create as many blankets as you would like! This is a great activity for anyone to participate in, regardless of age. We have staff at our Houses 24/7 who are able to accept doantions. Donations can be taken to: 825 S. Lake Ave (north of the Sanford Children's Castle) or 808 E. 24th Street (one block south of the Avera Orthopedic building). To volunteer, Express Interest below.

Pop tabs are found every time you open a soft drink, soup can, and even sometimes on your pet food! These tabs are recycled and converted into cash based on their weight. This cash helps us keep our doors open 24/7. Collecting pop tabs is easy for all ages and groups. Our House encourages families, schools, organizations, businesses, and small groups to collect pop tabs. Simply remove the pop tab from the aluminum can and place them into your favorite collection container! Containers with removable lids are preferred. Decorating your container brings attention to them & reminds everyone to save their tabs! Pop Tabs can be dropped off 24/7 at one of our Houses: 825 S Lake Ave. or 808 E 24th St. You may also bring the tabs directly to an aluminum recycler and ask that the check be made out to Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Dakota.

Why should you collect pop tabs?

Through foster care, thousands of animals have received special care before getting a second chance at a forever home. So many of our animals need foster care before they are ready to find new homes, and this need continues to increase. Foster volunteers take responsibility for spending individualized time with these animals and providing a safe environment and loving home for them until they are able to go up for adoption. Each year, more than 250 foster families, open up their homes, and share their love and lives with fosters from the SFAHS. They give hands-on care to the animals that need it most, assist in providing accurate personality descriptions, and provide support. SFAHS fosters have a deep understanding of the hard work and passion that goes into saving the lives of our rescued animals, helping us to create a better future for all animals.

Lasagna Love was started at the beginning of the pandemic when the founder of Good to Mama was looking for a way to help moms in her community. She and her toddler started making and delivering meals to families in the neighborhood who were struggling, whether that struggle was financial, emotional, or simply a feeling of overwhelm.
Lasagna Love has since grown into a national movement, with thousands of people all cooking and delivering meals to families in their communities. What we do is simple: feed families, spread kindness, and strengthen communities. Our mission is not only to help address the incredible rise in food insecurity among families but also to provide a simple act of love and kindness during a time full of uncertainty and stress.
Volunteers can sign up for a frequency that works for them, making a meal monthly, weekly, 3 times a week, etc. The volunteer would sign up on the website (lasagnalove.org), and then would be provided with a family's information to coordinate a date and time to deliver the meal. To register, please visit lasagnalove.org. For more information, email Laney.
