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 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!

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.

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.
